Hello,
Please kindly help me with my grammar problem.
In the sentence, "Frozen dumplings can also be found in all the supermarkets."
Do we have to add "the" before supermarkets? In my idea, I think "in all supermarkets" is better because it's generic sense, but I am not really sure about that.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Problems with articles!
If 'all supermarkets without exception' is meant (as opposed to a specific, recently discussed group), then 'the' should be omitted.
