I thought that in french, nouns must always have direct or indirect articles. But in the last sentence of this exercice, "cuillère et fourchette" aren't given any.

Nouns w/out Articles?
This question relates to:French writing exercise "A nice table "à la française""
Asked 3 years ago

Hi Drew,
The text says -
"... seront les couverts à dessert, cuiller et fourchette."
The 'les' refers to all that is mentioned and there is no need to repeat it.
Hope this helps!
