Esteban 2008 Articles: a/an/the EOI El Puerto 2º CAL Inglés

Esteban 2008 Using Articles • What is an article? Basically, an article is an adjective. Like adjectives, articles modify nouns. • English has two articles: the and a/an. The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a/an is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns. We call the the definite article and a/an the indefinite article. • the = definite article • a/an = indefinite article • For example, if I say, "Let's read the book," I mean a specific book. If I say, "Let's read a book," I mean any book rather than a specific book.

Esteban 2008 • Here's another way to explain it: The is used to refer to a specific or particular member of a group. For example, "I just saw the most popular movie of the year." There are many movies, but only one particular movie is the most popular. Therefore, we use the. • "A/an" is used to refer to a non-specific or non- particular member of the group. For example, "I would like to go see a movie." Here, we're not talking about a specific movie. We're talking about any movie. There are many movies, and I want to see any movie. I don't have a specific one in mind. • Normally, we use a/an to refer to something for the first time. For example, “We went to a museum in Paris. We ate at the museum too”.

Esteban 2008 Indefinite Articles: a and an • "A" and "an" signal that the noun modified is indefinite, referring to any member of a group. For example: • "My daughter really wants a dog for Christmas." This refers to any dog. We don't know which dog because we haven't found the dog yet. • "Somebody call a policeman!" This refers to any policeman. We don't need a specific policeman; we need any policeman who is available. • "When I was at the zoo, I saw an elephant!" Here, we're talking about a single, non-specific thing, in this case an elephant. There are probably several elephants at the zoo, but there's only one we're talking about here.
5.

Esteban 2008 Remember, using a or an depends on the sound that begins the next word. So... • a + singular noun beginning with a consonant: a boy; a car; a bike; a zoo; a dog • an + singular noun beginning with a vowel: an elephant; an egg; an apple; an idiot; an orphan • a + singular noun beginning with a consonant sound: a user (sounds like 'yoo-zer,' i.e. begins with a consonant 'y' sound, so 'a' is used); a university; a unicycle • Remember that this rule also applies when you use acronyms: • Introductory Composition at Purdue (ICaP) handles first-year writing at the University. Therefore, an ICaP memo generally discusses issues concerning English 106 instructors.
6.

Esteban 2008 • If the noun is modified by an adjective, the choice between a and an depends on the initial sound of the adjective that immediately follows the article: • a broken egg • an unusual problem • a European country (sounds like 'yer-o-pi-an,' i.e. begins with consonant /j/ sound) • Remember, too, that in English, the indefinite articles are used to indicate membership in a group: • I am a teacher. (I am a member of a large group known as teachers.) • Brian is an Irishman. (Brian is a member of the people known as Irish.) • Seiko is a practicing Buddhist. (Seiko is a member of the group of people known as Buddhists.)

Esteban 2008 Definite Article: the • The definite article is used before singular and plural nouns when the noun is specific or particular. The signals that the noun is definite, that it refers to a particular member of a group. For example: • "The dog that bit me ran away." Here, we're talking about a specific dog, the dog that bit me. • "I was happy to see the policeman who saved my cat!" Here, we're talking about a particular policeman. Even if we don't know the policeman's name, it's still a particular policeman because it is the one who saved the cat. • "I saw the elephant at the zoo." Here, we're talking about a specific noun. Probably there is only one elephant at the zoo.

Esteban 2008 Countable and Noncountable Nouns • The can be used with noncount nouns, or the article can be omitted entirely. • "I love to sail over the water" (some specific body of water) or "I love to sail over water" (any water). • "He spilled the milk all over the floor" (some specific milk, perhaps the milk you bought earlier that day) or "He spilled milk all over the floor" (any milk). • "A/an" can be used only with count nouns. • "I need a bottle of water." • "I need a new glass of milk." • Most of the time, you can't say, "She wants a water," unless you're implying, say, a bottle of water.
