Hello!
Why don't we use indefinite article a in this sentence? It is a thing?!

Hello, gemii. Try this:
We asked the operation staff about the bin as you recommended, and they replied that it is... [there seems to be a word missing at the end, gemii.]

When we say 'It is thing', we mean 'It is the word thing'. Which means that a noun refers to the name of a thing not to the thing itself. |
