Read the bizarre note your roommate left on the fridge. Select the best option for each gap to fix some common article mistakes.
"Great news! I am officially _________________________ certified ghost hunter!
I love _________________________, so I will do most of my investigating in the local woods tonight.
Don't wait up for me. If I get too scared, I am going straight to _________________________ anyway."

a — In English, we must use the indefinite article "a" or "an" when stating someone's profession or role (e.g., "I am a doctor," "She is a student").

nature — When talking about the natural world in a general sense, we use the zero article (no article). "The nature" is a common direct translation error from many Slavic languages.

bed — We use the zero article with certain institutional nouns when referring to their primary purpose. You go "to bed" to sleep, "to hospital" for treatment, and "to prison" for punishment.
