which one is correct?
Hi,
I asked many questions on the usage of articles but this one still baffles me, Help.
Which one is correct?
I received English education.
I received an English education.
I think you can say, "I had a great education", without any further details or modifications. It surely helps to have a phrase to modify like "I had a great education in history" but in itself doesn't determine whether there is a need for an article like "a".
BUT in regard to the phrase "English education", does it need an article like "a"?

Hi,
I received English education.
I received an English education.
It seems to me that all or most of you are interpreting this to mean 'education about the English language'. I think that's because you are heavily involved in learning English, going to English classes, etc.
