Always use the article "a" before "grant" when referring to a single instance: "He has a grant" is the correct phrasing. Without the article, the phrase is grammatically incorrect.
Common error
Avoid saying "he has grant." The correct phrasing requires the indefinite article "a" before "grant" when referring to a single grant. Using "he has grant" is a common error that makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
