Friends, here is a sentence from the book A Turn in the South by V S Naipaul:
I thought I was something special in the world-I think it had a lot to do with grace and gifts that were naturally given, God-given, to me.
Why article 'the' is not necessary before grace and gifts in the sentence, though grace and gifts are definite as they were the ones naturally given.
Please explain.
Thanks a lot in anticipation
