Articles (a/an/the) - San José State University

There are three articles in the English language: a an and the They are placed before nouns and show whether a given noun is general or specific Examples of Articles want a cheeseburger (It could be any cheeseburger ) could use an apple (It could be any apple ) need the notes that I wrote in class!

How do you use articles in grammar?

An article is a word that comes before a noun to show if it’s specific or general. Specific nouns use the article the and general nouns use the article a (or an if the next word starts with a vowel sound). What is an example of an article in grammar?

What are the different types of articles in grammar?

A determiner is a word or a group of words that specifies, identifies, or quantifies the noun or noun phrase that follows it: There are only two types of articles in English, definite or indefinite. The three main articles in English grammar are "the," "a," and "an."

What are the rules for using articles?

Articles convey the ‘specificity’ of a noun. How general or specific a noun is, in a sentence. Articles are also implied with acronyms or short forms. The placing of an article depends on the vowel or the consonant sound of the first letter of a word. Generally, we do not use definite articles with names or Proper nouns.

What are the points to remember while using articles in English grammar?

Articles ("a," "an," and "the") are determiners or noun markers that function to specify if the noun is general or specific in its reference. Often the article chosen depends on if the writer and the reader understand the reference of the noun. The articles "a" and "an" are indefinite articles.

Articles in English Grammar

Writing Centre Learning Guide

articles, present problems for most speakers of English as an additional language. This is not surprising, since there is no equivalent construction in many languages, and those languages that do have articles do not necessarily use them in the same way as English.

Introduction

It is often difficult to decide whether an English noun needs an article before it, and, if so, which

article (a/an/the) to use. The main things to consider when choosing an article are whether or not the noun is countable, and whether it is definite. Countability means that the noun can be made plural, e.g. book/books Whether a noun is definite or indefinite depends on whether you and your reader or listener both know what you are referring to. The following pages give you some guidelines on what makes a noun countable and/or definite. Much of the information is based on the work of Master (1986) and

Swales and Feak (1994).

When you have to decide whether to use an article, and which article to use, consider this chart:

Choosing the right article

Is the noun singular and countable? Is the noun plural or uncountable?

Yes Yes

Is it definite? Is it definite?

yes no yes no the a/an the no article

For example:

I bought a book book is a singular, countable noun; therefore it has to have an article. The book I bought is interesting - book is again a singular, countable noun; therefore it has to have an article. In this case, we know which book you are referring to (the book you bought), so it takes a definite article. (More details on the definite article are given below.) I like the books you gave me books is a plural noun. It is used in a definite sense (we know which books the books you gave me), so it takes a definite article. 2 I like books books is a plural noun. It is used about books generally, not specific books, so it takes no article. Blood is thicker than water blood and water are singular, uncountable nouns. They are used in a general sense, therefore they do not need an article. I bought two books you do not need an article, because you already have the word two. I bought some books you do not need an article, because you already have the word some. How do you know whether you need an article and which article to use? A single, countable noun must have an article if there is no other number, determiner or

possessive (e.g. two, our, this). If the noun is plural, an article may not be necessary. Look first at

your noun: our house you do not need an article, because you already have the possesive our. this year you do not need an article, because you already have the determiner this. car you need an article, because this is a singular countable noun with no determiner already. trees you may need an article, depending on whether the noun is definite or not.

For example:

Trees are usually green no article is needed, because you are talking generally and the noun is not definite, i.e. you are not talking about specific trees. The trees in the park are green the article is needed because you have specified which trees you are talking about.

Indefinite article (a/an)

If the noun is singular and countable, and this is the first time you have mentioned it, then you will

usually need the indefinite article:

I bought a book we do not know which book.

There is a bird outside we do not know anything about the bird. Measurements and rates also take the indefinite article: Three times a week If the noun starts with a vowel sound, then the article an is used: an ear, an uncle, an hour If the noun starts with a consonant sound, then the article a is used: a school, a university

Definite article (the)

If your reader or listener understands what you are referring to, then you will usually need the definite article: I bought a book last week. The book is about trees. (You have just mentioned the book, so you both know which one.) We went to a wedding yesterday. The bride wore a lovely dress. (You have not mentioned the bride before, but you both know she is connected to the wedding.) Some things are taken to be common knowledge in English and therefore take the definite article:

Decades He was born in the 1920s.

Currencies The dollar is getting stronger against the pound. Superlatives and ordinals The second book in the series is the best. Oceans, seas and many rivers The Nile flows into the Mediterranean. The Maldives are much smaller than the United States of America. Adjectives used as nouns The poor will always be a challenge for the rich in any country. Many organisations The World Health Organization has a detailed definition of health. A scientific categorisation The zebra is native to Africa.

A symbol The Merlion is a symbol of Singapore.

Unique people, places or things The prime minister said she would call a conference on changes affecting climate. 3 Unique adjectives The same people always take the only parking spaces available. Specific nouns modified by a relative clause The paintings (which are) in the gallery - The use of this procedure quotesdbs_dbs23.pdfusesText_29
