To refer to a particular dog, you need to use 'the dog', 'this dog', 'John's dog', 'that dog in the window', 'the black-and-white dog we saw the other day when we were taking a walk', and so on. And this isn't true just for 'dog' but for countable nouns in general. | |

| Jul 4, 2014 at 8:27 | comment | added | ElendilTheTall | 'I like dogs' means 'I like all dogs' or 'I like dogs in general'. If you like a particular dog you would say 'I like this dog'. | |
