Lesson 28: Basic Article Usage

1. Definite Article (The)

The definite article "the" is used to refer to specific nouns that are known to both the speaker and the listener.

• Use "the":
  • When talking about something specific that both the speaker and listener know.
    • Example: The cat on the roof is mine. (Refers to a specific cat that is known to both.)
  • When referring to something that has already been mentioned.
    • Example: I saw a movie. The movie was exciting. (Refers to the movie already mentioned.)

2. Indefinite Articles (A/An)

Indefinite articles "a" and "an" are used to refer to non-specific nouns. They are used when the exact identity of the noun is not important or not known.

• Use "a":
  • Before words that start with a consonant sound.
    • Example: a book (a consonant sound starts the word "book")
• Use "an":
  • Before words that start with a vowel sound.
    • Example: an apple (a vowel sound starts the word "apple")
