meadow
Difference of "meadow" and a "meadow"
Is it correct to understand that in the second sentence, a particular area of meadow is imagined in the speaker's mind while in the first sentence, "meadow" means a particular condition?
This area used to meadow.
The villagers gather at a meadow.

I doubt that the first sentence is correct. A meadow is a field with tall wild grass and flowers.

The verb is missing from your first sentence. It should be "This area used to BE meadow".
As an uncountable noun, "meadow" refers to a type of terrain or vegetation. This is the same as the uncountable use of "forest" or "desert", for example.

I found 'meadows' as a verb in Urban Dictionary. I'm not a native English speaker, so for me, it seems that something is missing in the first sentence.
