Foreign Student's Guide to English Articles) (Paperback) As an ESL (English as a Second Language) instructor, I think this book is a godsend.

After explaining that singular count nouns MUST have articles, students are still stumped on other occasions. For example, some ailments take an article while others don't. Why is that? This book answers that and many more.
