问题描述：
put out a/the/不填 fire?有冠词没?
上课老师说只有make a fire加冠词,可是他又说put out a fire.好迷茫啊 .
答
[C,U]flames that are out of control and destroy buildings,trees,etc.失火；火灾
例句put out the fire
有冠词the或a,但一般情况下都定指具体的火所以一般用the 此时为可数（原则上可数不可数都可以 这是习惯用法)
[C]a pile of burning fuel,such as wood or coal,used for cooking food or heating a room炉火：灶火
例句to make /build a fire生火 （必须可数）
