3- From Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary at the entry of using an indefinite article there is a role says: a or an are used before uncountable nouns when these have an adjective in front of them, or phrase following them. Like:
* a good knowledge of France.
* a sadness that won't go away.
In spite of this and at the same dictionary at the entry of Bail I saw this sentence: money that sb agrees to pay if a person accused of a crime does not appear at their trail. Why not using A with money? Also I saw this phrase without using A with the noun coffee: black coffee. Why is this clear difference between the role and these sentences?
4- The rule says that the –ing form may or may not have an article before it.

- zero article + singular noun
- the + singular noun
- the + plural noun

When do I use these definite or indefinite articles before these kinds of nouns?
