Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → No article
Complete sentence: We usually have breakfast at seven before we leave for school. The sentence speaks of breakfast in general, as a daily habit.
| Option | When to use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) the | used for one particular meal that both people know about. Here breakfast is a daily habit, not one particular meal | The breakfast at the hotel was very good. |
| (2) an | comes before a vowel sound. "Breakfast" begins with the consonant sound "b" | She ate an orange after school. |
| (3) a | comes before a meal only when an adjective describes it ("a heavy breakfast"). There is no such word here | We had a light lunch before the match. |
| (4) No article (answer) | before the names of meals like breakfast, lunch and dinner | My father has dinner at nine every night. |
