Sometimes we use the article and sometimes we do not. It often depends on the conte!t. $atchthe following e!ample'
The student goes to school.The mother goes to the school.
In the first sentence we do not use the definite article, in the second we do. The student goes toschool for its primary purpose, so we do not use the article.
The mother might talk to a teacher, for e!ample. She isits the school for a different reason.That s why we use the definite article in the second sentence.
The indefinite article - a
The indefinte article is the a is the same for all genders.a boy, a girl, a cat
The indefinte article has no plural form.a boy - boys
$e use an if the following word starts with a owel.
