Rule 1: The form a/an is used before plural nouns:
a/an has no plural form. So the plural of a dog is dogs, and of an egg is eggs.
Rules 2: Before names of meals, except when these are preceded by an adjective:
- We have breakfast at eight.
- He gore us a good breakfast.
The article is also used when it is a special meal given to celebrate something or in someone’s honor:
- I was invited to dinner (at their house, in the ordinary way) but
- I was invited to a dinner given to welcome the new ambassador.
