I have read that in the list of items if an item is preceded by an article, then all items should. for ex:- a X, a Y and a Z or else a X , Y or Z. Please clarify my doubt. Thanks in advance
The rule you have in mind typically applies to the use of prepositions or helping verbs, not articles. For example, you could write, "I enjoy stuffing my face
with tacos,
with cupcakes, and
with bhindi masala." Or one could write, "I enjoy stuffing my face
with tacos, cupcakes, and bhindi masala." (Helpful warning derived from personal experience: if you're going to stuff your face with these foods, please do not do so in that order.)
However, articles are a different story, because certain words can't logically be preceded by them. For example, "The Lakers signed a shooting guard, a small forward, and Lebron James." We can't write "
a Lebron James!" The world would be a funny place if you could mass produce Lebron James and every team could have one. (My Warriors, of course, would still clobber everybody. A lineup of Curry, Thompson, Green, Durant, and Lebron James's clone? Epic!)
I hope that helps!
