"She hasn't bought potatoes for a dinner" or "she hasn't bought potatoes for dinner"?
Well, I am doing my English homework about negations in Present Perfect Simple and I am not sure for this sentence, I should use an article in front of the word dinner or not? Please, explain me if there is the rule.

She didn't buy any potatoes for dinner :)
meaning that the action hasn't been done
So if it was the past
You would say : she already bought potatoes for dinner
Something that she did in the past
