We can make a generalisation about a countable subject of the sentence in two ways: no article + plural noun OR a/an + singular noun 2. We don't use an article to make a generalisation about an uncountable subject of the sentence. 3. To make a generalisation about an object of the sentence, countable or uncountable, we don't use an article. We use the plural form for countable nouns. Uncountable nouns are always singular.
