English Lesson ten Article

Welcome to the English lesson, lesson ten:

In this lesson I’m going to explain what are  articles.

What is an article?

An article is a word use to make something clear or definite in a sentence.  There are three articles in English. “a” “an”  “the”

“a”  or  “an” are indefinite  articles  and “the “  is a definite articles.

Definite Article (the)

The definite article is used to speak about a noun that is already known, heard or identified.

For Example:

                       The ball is on the grass

Here we specify a particular ball line on a particular space that is grass.

Indefinite article (a)

“a” is used before all words starting with a consonant.

For example:

                      He is a boy.

Indefinite article (an)

“an” is used before all word starting with vowel.

For Example:

                             She has an umbrella.

                              I want to see an elephant.
