1. Before going to bed, the boy asked his father to tell him a bedside story.
Explanation: The word "bed" is a singular, countable noun, so it requires an article "a" before it. "Bedside story" is a noun phrase, and since "story" starts with a consonant sound, it requires the indefinite article "a".

2. After breakfast, she left for the Rocky Mountains by plane.
Explanation: "Breakfast" is a non-count, singular noun and does not require an article. "Rocky Mountains" is a specific geographical location and needs the definite article "the" before it.

3. I got a good mark for the test which I wrote on the second day of school.
Explanation: "Good mark" is a noun phrase, and since "mark" starts with a consonant sound, it requires the indefinite article "a". "Test" is a singular, countable noun and needs the definite article "the" before it. "Second day of school" is a specific time and requires the definite article "the" before it.

4. Last time I saw her was in the autumn of 1990.
Explanation: "Autumn" is a non-count, singular noun and does not require an article. Since the sentence talks about a specific time, the definite article "the" is not needed before "autumn". However, if you prefer to use an article, you can say "the autumn of 1990".

5. The church was empty. There were no services on that day.
Explanation: "Church" is a singular, countable noun and needs the definite article "the" before it. The sentence talks about a specific church, the one mentioned before. "Day" is a singular, countable noun and also requires the definite article "the" before it.

7. What a nasty day!
Explanation: "Nasty day" is a noun phrase, and since "day" starts with a consonant sound, it requires the indefinite article "a". The indefinite article "a" is used here to emphasize the negative quality of the day.
