o A or An? The general rule is that we
use a before a consonant and an
before a vowel:
a bowl, a car,a dog, but... an ant, an elephant, an
insect, an orange, an urn
But, what is important here is not the way a word is
written, but the way it sounds. We choose a or an
depending on the sound at the beginning of the word
and whether it is a vowel sound or a consonant sound.
For example, take the word uniform. Although it
begins with a vowel - u - when we write it, when we
say it the first sound is /y/ which is a consonant:
uniform is pronounced ‘/junɪfɔːm/ so we say a
uniform
One word which is often confused is hotel. Some
people pronounce this word as /həʊˈtɛl/ so they would
write:
a hotel. But other people pronounce this word as
/əʊˈtɛl/ and so they would write: an hotel
o The Zero Article does not
exist. It is a useful term to use when
describing how to use articles.
Essentially when we talk about the
zero article, we mean that we don’t use
any article in front of a noun.
For example, when we use a noun with a preposition,
we often do not use an article (that is, we just use the
– The definite article doesn't change. It is always
the whether the noun is masculine, feminine or
neuter, singular or plural. We use the definite
article - the - when we talk about a singular or
plural noun which refers to a particular member
of a a group.
The woman.The man.The door.The doors.
Prior Reference
We often use the after the noun has already been
mentioned. For example:
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Sctosman walk into a
pub. The Englishman ordered a bitter; the Irishman
ordered a Guiness and the Scotsman ordered a whisky.
The first time we mention the noun we use the indefinite
article and from then on we use the definite article.
Known Reference
If both speakers know what they are talking about they
can use the even though the noun may not have been
mentioned before. In other words, it is implied that the
noun has already been mentioned.
Excuse me, do you know what the time is?
Where's the toilet?
In these examples, the speaker assumes that the listener
knows what is being talked about.
Miscellanous In addition, the is used in the following
special circumstances
Exceptions include: the Hague; the Matterhorn; the
13

14. noun on its own):
I went to school but left my books at home. Mother
was in church and father at sea; Grandfather came to
dinner later by train and Grandmother managed to
escape from prison to join us.
When we talk about an institution, we use the zero
article.
Mall; the White House, the United States of America
We use the definite article - the - when we talk about a
singular or plural noun which refers to a particular
member of a a group.
In this example the group is all men; we want to reference
a particular man so we say: The man in the hat.
Compare this with the indefinite article which refers to
any man in the group: A man in a hat.
