Articles

Hello Everyone Welcome to this Lesson.....

Today in this session we will learn about Articles

So, What are Articles?

Well, in English There are

Two types of Articles

• Definite Articles

• Indefinite Articles

Indefinite Article and Definite Articles

Definite Article consists of "The"

Indefinite Article consists of "A" and "An"

Remember few facts about

Indefinite Articles

• The Article "A" is used before a word that begins with a consonant

• The Article "An" is used before a word that begins with a vowel

• The Articles "A" and "An" are used to introduce a singular noun

• Articles "A" and "An" are used to talk about a thing in general

Remember a few facts about

Definite Articles

• When this article is used, it means that you are referring to a specific or identified noun, so it will be clear to the listener or reader what exactly you are referring to.

• Example: I want to buy the Bag with Unicorns on it

• Here the reader is specifying it that She wants to buy a bag with unicorns in it

Important points about Articles

• Another really important point to remember is that not all words that start with a vowel or consonant actually start with a vowel or consonant sound, as you would expect!

• Some consonants might sound like a vowel, and some vowels might sound like consonants. In this case, you use the right indefinite article for the sound

Important points about

Articles (Continued)

• Example: “A unique idea” – while “unique” starts with a vowel, this word begins with a “yoo” sound, which is a consonant sound – and we use “a” instead of “an”.

• “An hourly update” – “hourly” starts with a consonant, but this word begins with a vowel sound – “ow”, which means you need to use “an” instead of “a”.

• If you’re not sure, just pronounce the word out aloud and see what it sounds like!
