Answer
1. **a** (We use "a" before a singular countable noun when it's mentioned for the first time.)<br />2. **the** (We use "the" because "city centre" is a specific place.)<br />3. **the/a** (Both are possible. "The suburbs" refers to suburbs in general, while "a suburb" refers to any suburb.)<br />4. No article (We don't use an article before plural nouns in general.)<br />5. **a** (We use "a" before a singular countable noun, and it's not a specific café.)<br />6. No article (We don't use an article before plural nouns in general.)<br />7. No article (We don't use an article before plural nouns in general.)<br />8. **the/this** (Both are possible. "The neighbourhood" refers back to the neighbourhood mentioned earlier, while "this neighbourhood" emphasizes the speaker's current location.)<br />9. **a** (We use "a" before "real community" because it's a singular countable noun and it's not a specific community.)<br />10. **a** (We use "a" before "great nightlife" because it's a singular countable noun.)<br />11. No article (We don't use an article before countries, except for exceptions like "the Netherlands" or "the United States.")<br />12. No article (Same as above.)<br />13. No article (We don't use an article before nationalities in a general sense.)<br />14. No article (Same as above.)<br />15. No article (We don't use an article before plural nouns in general.)<br />16. **the/this** (Both are possible, similar to number 8.)<br />17. **a** (We use "a" before "young person" because it's a singular countable noun and it's not a specific person.)<br />
