Zero Article
In English grammar, zero article is when a noun or a phrase either in speech or in writing is not preceded by an article.

| Movement or Transport | By bus, by car, on foot | John travels by bus, I am leaving town by car |
| Days, months | Monday, Tuesday, September | I go to school on Monday, My birthday is in September |
| Newspaper Headlines, user guides, notices | Car crash, S | Car crash on the highway, give kids time |
