ARTICLES

The A/An, Some


(Definite Article) (Indefinite Article)

What is an article ?

Basically, articles are a lot like adjectives. Much the same as adjectives, articles modify
nouns.

The

The is one of the most frequently used words in the English language. It is used before a
noun when we know exactly what we are referring to.

a) We use the for countable and uncountable nouns.

Examples :

1. The lady we met is her mother.


2. The roses in her garden are lovely.
3. The water in the container is dirty.

b) For a specific person, object or place.

Examples :

1. I know the boy who lives in that big house.


2. They will buy food at the rice court.
3. Mary will meet me at the cinema.

c) When we speak of only one such thing.

Examples :

1. The sun is hot today.


2. The moon is shining brightly.
3. The earth rotates every day.
d) When we mention something for the first time, we use a or an. When we
mention it again, we use the.

Examples :

1. I bought a bag. The bag cost RM 25.


2. I have a cat. The cat is called Tiger.

e) Before the names of rivers, seas, mountain ranges, island groups and union of
states.

Examples :

1. My friend Apit lives near the Rajang river.


2. She is going to study in the United States of America.
3. There is an economic crisis in the United Kingdom.

 We do not use the article the in the following situations :

a) Before the names of roads, streets, states, countries, towns

Examples :

1. My teacher lives at Pearl Road. (road)


2. My father was born in Pahang. (state)
3. The people of Malaysia live in harmony. (country)

b) Before the names of people, buildings, places, days, months, years.

Examples :

1. We have to go to school for sports practice today. (building)


2. We will be going to Hawaii in November. (place|month)

A/An
Articles a and an are indefinite articles. So, when do we use these articles ?

a) We use a before countable nouns beginning with consonant sounds (b,c,d,f,g,


etc.)

Examples :

1. A guitar
2. A university
3. A European

b) We use an before countable nouns beginning with vowel sounds (a,e,I,o,u)

Examples :

1. An ostrich
2. An envelope
3. An English teacher

Some

The indefinite article some is used for plural and uncountable nouns. We use some in
positive statements.

Examples :

1. There is some food in the kitchen.


2. Some boys are playing in the hall.
3. There are some boxes on the floor.
State whether the sentences are correct or not. Explain.

1. They are going to the church.
