She is an excellent teacher. I've subscribed to the YouTube channel and look forward to more of her explanations. That is the best explanation of why sentences like *我吃了饭 are incorrect but 我吃了他的饭 are correct.

My HSK v3 elementary grammar book shows four sentences. The one with the * is incorrect (this is a standard notation in linguistics and language learning texts).
1) * 我买了书。
2) 我买了一本书。
3) 我买了很多书。
4) 我买了书，还买了水果。
Can anyone explain to me why #4 is NOT wrong? The rule explained in the video would, if I am understanding 老师 correctly, lead me to believe that sentence #4 is not grammatically correct, yet my texbook from Beijing Language and Culture University Press does not mark it as incorrect.
