I am currently writing an essay and Grammarly tells me to change my sentence from "My feet made impact on the ground" to "My feet made an impact on the ground". Should I trust Grammarly, or should I keep it the same as the beginning, as per my intuition?
Same issue, with a different sentence:
Me: "I first walked into school and came to my locker."
Grammarly: "I first walked into the/a school and came to my locker."
Which is correct? Assuming that it is my school is implied. I am American, so American English please!
By the way, I meant the "hit something and make a noise" impact, not the "make an impression" impact.

'Impact', 'contact', etc. are often used as non-count nouns. 'School', 'town', 'church', 'home', 'bed', etc. are often treated somewhat like proper nouns because of familiarity.
