 the use of SUCH
In the FREE LUNCH item of the new word supplement list of Oxford 4th:
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
I think this sentence might be wrong, because THING is a countable noun, and an indefinite article should be inserted before THING;
Apart from this, I, when searching words in online dictionaries, often see this:no such word;
I am not a native English speaker, and so not qualified to challenge Oxford 4th.
Could anyone tell me what's wrong with my statement? |
