The Articles
Articles is an adjective. It can modify
nouns. English has two articles (the, a/ an). We can
also call “the” a definite article, it means that “the” is used to refer
specific or particular nouns and “a, an” as indefinite article is used to
modify non-specific or non – particular nouns.
For example:
·
“Let’s read the book”, I mean a specific book
·
“Let’s read a book”,
I mean any book
"A/an"
is used to refer to a non-specific
or non-particular member of the group.
For
example:
·
"I would like to go see a movie."
Here, we're not talking about a specific movie. We're talking about any
movie. There are many movies, and I want to see any movie. I don't have
a specific one in mind.
— "Somebody
call a policeman!" This refers to any policeman. We don't need a
specific policeman; we need any policeman who is available.
Remember,
using a or an depends on the sound that begins the next word. So...
-
a + singular noun beginning with a consonant: a
boy; a car; a bike; a zoo; a dog
-
an + singular noun beginning with a vowel: an
elephant; an egg; an apple; an idiot; an orphan
-
a + singular noun beginning with a consonant
sound: a user (sounds like 'yoo-zer,' i.e. begins with a consonant 'y'
sound, so 'a' is used); a university; a unicycle
-
an + nouns starting with silent "h": an hour
-
a + nouns starting with a pronounced "h": a horse
-
In some cases where "h" is pronounced, such as
"historical," you can use an. However, a is more commonly used
and preferred.
-
A historical event is worth recording.
-
A and an are also used when talking about your profession,examples: an english
teacher, a builder
THE
The as
definite article is used before singular and plural nouns when the noun is
specific or particular. The signals that the noun is definite, that it refers
to a particular member of a group.
Example:
— The
dog that bit me ran away." Here, we're talking about a specific
dog, the dog that bit me.
— "I
was happy to see the policeman who saved my cat!" Here, we're talking
about a particular policeman. Even if we don't know the policeman's
name, it's still a particular policeman because it is the one who saved the
cat.
Here's another way to explain it: The is used to refer to a specific
or particular member of a group. For example, "I just saw the
most popular movie of the year." There are many movies, but only one
particular movie is the most popular. Therefore, we use ‘the.”
