English grammar question?

Once you have said 'the nearest coffee shop', you don't need to use the particle 'a' for the rest of the list, because it is assumed that you also mean the nearest restaurant, park etc.

you would just put..

will help you find the nearest coffee shop, restaurant, park or..

no need for the 'a' or 'the'

just imagine the sentence without the other words in for example:

will help you find the nearest a park, you wouldn't put that would you, you just put will help you find the nearest park.

hope that helped!

I would take out the a's and make it:

...will help you find the nearest coffee shop, restaurant, park or...

leave out the "a" before restaurant, park, etc.

....will help you find the nearest coffee shop, restaurant, park or...

I would actually leave out the "a".

...will help you find the nearest coffee shop, restaurant, park or ...

You have already prefaced your list with "the" - as in "the nearest" so you don't need any further definite or indefinite articles.

.. will help you find the nearest coffe shop, park, restaurant etc

I agree leave out the "a" but "a" would be the correct subjective its just really choppy and overkill when using it in a list. "the" is used more specifically for example between friends: "lets go to the restaurant" (assuming that the friends have a common restaurant that they like to go to without saying the name) as opposed to "lets go to a restaurant" shows that the friends don't care which one they go to.

Depends on whether you are referring to the nearest restaurant or park. If you are, you should remove the "a" in both places.
