Hello, everyone.
I've got a question about grammar of English, so if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a favor and ask which one is correct answer.

Delta Airline has ______ from New York to Sanfransisco.

I answered "direct flight", but someone said to me he looked up the dictionary and it said that flight is a noun, so a direct flight is right. But when I searched web sites, I found out both words were used - direct flight/ a direct flight.

I'm really confused which one is correct answer. Direct flight? A direct flight? Could you let me know the answer?

Thank you in advance.

Hi elysium,

Try:

Delta Airlines has direct flights from New York to San Francisco.

Airlines usually have more than one direct flight between major cities. Flights is the noun, direct is the adjective.

"a direct flight" is the correct answer to the question.
