Articles flowchart
This document provides guidance on article usage (a/an or the) with nouns in the English language. It addresses whether to use an article based on factors such as if the noun is being mentioned for the first time, if it is countable or uncountable, singular or plural, a name, or refers to a place. The document contains two charts that outline specific rules for article usage with nouns referring to places and their names.
