I'm a writer and a musician. Can I use 'a' only once before 'writer' in the above sentence? Or should it be written before both professions? I'm a writer and musician. How about omitting 'a'? I'm writer and musician.
The second one can be omitted if the two are felt to be close together (a knife and fork, a table and chair). Do you have one job which combines being a writer and musician? Or do you sometimes work as a writer and sometimes as a musician? That's how to decide.
I agree with Entangledbank as to the second "a." But you definitely cannot omit both articles. She is nurse. He is farmer. I am writer.
