I am worrying...
It may be a small thing, but it has bothered me.
Yesterday, I wrote in my blog, "I read the newspaper." This simple sentence is what makes me feel uneasy. The point is I do not know if "the" is necessary before "newspaper".
When I try to express such a situation, there can be three ways as follows.
A: I read the newspaper.
B: I read a newspaper.
C: I read newspaper.
I know that a word of newspaper is a countable noun, thus sentence C sounds unnatural to me. I believe that my guess is right.
My feeling says what is right is sentence A, although I can not explain the reason well. It would be fantastic if I could choose the right sentence without thinking one year later.
