My kid saw the scene and told me,
There is a fog.
Do we use "a" before fog?
Answer
In this context, no, there shouldn't be an article. That said,
There is fog
However, 'a fog' is possible but in different context.
This problem has me in a fog.
Or, if you want to say some type of fog or emphasize the intensity.
A blanket of fog covered the fields.
If you are still confused, open up any authentic dictionary (OALD, for example) and check whether the noun is countable or uncountable. Further, check that in which sense it is countable studying some examples.
Edited:
As in the comment by Livrecache, I came across examples from books and other reliable sources that wrote 'a fog' as well. So, it's not completely wrong!
