culture
Hi,
I get confused as to when to use the article 'a' before the word 'culture'. When could I place 'a' and when not?
Why if I say 'Korean culture', no article is used? Then, when should the article 'a' be placed before the word 'culture'?

Hi Believer Don't look for logic with regard to articles in English. Adjectival attributes very often bring on an indefinite article: A new culture was born. A relative clause may do the same: We need a culture that is totally different from what we have now .
