What is the grammatical issue with the following sentence, if any?

Love is a game between a two.

Someone argued that it is improper the article should be deleted. hence, love is a game between two is the correct form. Which one is correct? is it a matter of grammar or style?

Best Answer

The previous comments are correct.

You need to add people because the word two then has a noun to describe or modify.

In the sentence :

Love is a game between two people.

**two = adjective

people= noun**

Because the noun is plural it is not preceded by an indefinite article = a
