1. "I'm not keen on (1) Chinese food."
Here, we need to decide whether to use "write" or "an" before "Chinese." The word "Chinese" is an adjective that describes the noun "food." Since the noun is non-specific, we should use the indefinite article "an." Therefore, the correct answer is "an."
2. "What about (2) Indian restaurant?"
In this case, we need to determine whether to use "write" or "an" before "Indian." Similar to the previous example, "Indian" is an adjective that modifies the noun "restaurant." Since the noun is non-specific, we should use the indefinite article "an." Therefore, the correct answer is "an."
3. "Yes, but there are always a lot of (3) children there..."
Here, we need to decide whether to use "write" or "an" before "children." The word "children" is a plural noun and does not require an article. Therefore, the correct answer is to write nothing.
4. "...and it's very noisy on (4) Friday nights."
Here, we need to determine whether to use "write" or "an" before "Friday." The word "Friday" is a specific day of the week, so it does not require an article. Therefore, the correct answer is to write nothing.
5. "Is there (5) Greek restaurant around here?"
In this case, we need to decide whether to use "write" or "an" before "Greek." Again, "Greek" is an adjective that modifies the noun "restaurant." Since the noun is non-specific, we should use the indefinite article "a." Therefore, the correct answer is "a."
6. "I love (6) kebabs."
Here, we need to determine whether to use "write" or "an" before "kebabs." The word "kebabs" is a plural noun and does not require an article. Therefore, the correct answer is to write nothing.
7. "We don't have (7) Greek restaurant..."
Similar to example 5, we need to decide whether to use "write" or "an" before "Greek." Since "Greek" is an adjective that modifies the noun "restaurant," and the noun is non-specific, we should use the indefinite article "a." Therefore, the correct answer is "a."
8. "...but there's (8) new Turkish one in King Street."
In this case, we need to determine whether to use "write" or "an" before "new." The word "new" is an adjective that describes the noun "Turkish one." Since the noun is non-specific, we should use the indefinite article "a." Therefore, the correct answer is "a."
In summary, the correct answers are:
1. an
2. an
3. (no article)
4. (no article)
5. a
6. (no article)
