Wonders Unit 6 Week 1: Adjectives and Articles

An adjective is a word that describes a noun, telling us more about it, such as its color, size, or quality.

An article is a word that is used before a noun to define it as specific or unspecific. The articles in English are 'a', 'an', and 'the'.

We use 'a' before words that begin with a consonant sound, for example, 'a cat' or 'a dog'.

We use 'an' before words that begin with a vowel sound, for example, 'an apple' or 'an egg'.

We use 'the' when we are talking about a specific noun that is already known to the listener, for example, 'the sun' or 'the book on the table'.
