The correct answer is: A. no article, the
We were invited to dinner day before yesterday. In this sentence, “dinner” is a general noun, not a specific noun. It does not refer to a particular dinner, but to dinner in general. Therefore, we do not use an article before it.
If we were to say, “We were invited to the dinner,” this would imply that we were invited to a specific dinner, such as a birthday dinner or a holiday dinner. In this case, we would use the definite article “the” before “dinner.”
A. no article, the: This is the correct answer. We do not use an article before “dinner” because it is a general noun.
B. a, a: This is incorrect. We do not use two articles before “dinner.”
C. a, an: This is incorrect. We do not use “an” before a word that begins with a consonant sound. The word “dinner” begins with the consonant sound “d.”
D. the, the: This is incorrect. We do not use the definite article “the” before a general noun.
