Articles
Article With A Plural or Singular Noun
Specific Article: The
The spesific article refers to a noun, either in the singular or plural. It can be used with uncountable nouns. The refers to a specific thing or quantity. It should be placed before the noun, or before the adjective which directly modifies the noun.
# Please give me the hammer.# Please give me the red hammer, the blue one is too small.# Please give me the nail.# Please give me the large nail, it’s the only one strong enough to hold up this painting.# My cat is sleeping in the garage.
Unspecific Articles: A and AnThe indefinite articles are used when we are referring to an unspecified thing or quantity. We use them when we don’t know (or don’t care) which thing we’re talking about.
>There once was a sheep.
I don’t know which sheep it was – don’t know its name or where it’s from, or anything about it – so I can’t say the sheep
Please give me a water. Please give me some water. Please give me a bottle of water. Please give me an ice. Please give me an ice cube. Please give me some ice. We need a light in this room. We need some light in this room.
We use a before nouns or adjectives which begin with a consonant, or when U sounds like a Y, or O sounds like a W.
A catA dogA universityA young puppyA one-eyed pirate
We use an before words which begin with a vowel sound or a soft H sound.
An eggAn hour-glassAn antique necklace
Using Articles With Pronouns
A pronoun is used to modify a noun; an article is also used to modify a noun. If both are used to modify the same noun, the reader will become confused. Pronouns are words like he, I, we, our, it, her, and their. Articles should not be used to modify pronouns.
Why are you reading my book?Getting on the train, she gave
her ticket to a him.Getting on the train, she gave
her ticket to him.Getting on the train, she gave
her ticket to a ticket man.
The unspecific articles, a and an, are used to modify singular nouns. When using a plural noun, these two articles are unnecessary.
I have a book in my locker.
I have books in my locker.
It is also unnecessary to use an indefinite article if there is an adjective in front of a plural noun.When he is in public, he
does an embarrassing things.
When he is in public, he does embarrassing things.
When he is in public, he does an embarrassing thing.
