With "A" or not

English Language & Usage Asked on August 22, 2021

For the following sentences..
"We believe that strong bonding between parents and school can…."
"We believe that a strong bonding between parents and school can…."

Which one is correct?
Do we need "A" in this sentence?

One Answer

In this case, "bonding" is a gerund, which can act as a noun. Therefore, using "a" before "strong bonding" is correct, though it is not absolutely necessary. In my opinion, it is somewhat of a style question. I personally prefer this sentence with an article, which puts an emphasis on "strong bonding". Here are some further forum threads!
