I. Use of articles
1. The indefinite article : ‘a or an’
A and An have exactly the same
meaning. We use a in front of consonant
sounds (a donkey, a windmill) and an in
front of vowel sounds (an egg, an old
horse)

5. 5
2. The indefinite article : ‘The’
We use the when ‘ we know
which one’ because the thing or
person

6. 6
2. Type of articles
The articles are divided in two type:
* Definite article
The is definite article: We use the when
we know which one because the thing
or person.
-Is unique (or unique in that context).
Example: The Cambodian Prime
Minister (there is only one)

7. 7
- Has been mentioned before.
Example: Socheata gave me a photo. I
looked at it, and saw that the photo very
beautiful.
- Is defined by the phrase which follows
it.
Example: What’s the new student’s
name?

8. 8
1.The is not used before plural nouns and
uncountable nouns (in a general sense) :
Dogs are faithful animals.
Trees give us shade.
Honesty is the best policy.
Tolerance is important in our country.
2.Before (the names of most countries
except if the country includes the word
‘Republic’ or ‘United’) :
Have you been to China?
The tourists will arrive from India.
He is going to Australia next year.
When are you leaving for New Zealand?

9. 9
* Indefinite article
We use a/an when ‘ we don’t know
which one’ because the thing or
person.
-Is one of many.
Example: Sony is a clever students.
-Is not unique.
Example: I’ve just bought a mobile
phone.

10. 10
- Has not mentioned before.
This shows that the listener or reader
doesn’t know what we are referring to.
After this first reference, always use
‘the’.
Example: There was a cute student in
a class today.

11. 11
With indefinite articles, we can talk
about people or things ‘in general’
with a or an or with the plural.
Instead of using the plural: Pigs
are greedy on Animal Farm.
We can say: A pig named Napoleon
is greedy on Animal Farm.

12. 12
II. Non-use of articles.
We do not use an article when we
talk about things in general:
- Using plural or uncountable
nouns
Example: Do you like sport?

13. 13
- With the names of people or
places, but there are many
exceptions.
Example: A book by professor
Jones.

14. 14
III. Areas that often cause problems.
1. Jobs
If there are many people doing a
particular job, we use a/an.
Ex: My girl friend is a singer ( there are
many singer).
But if a job is specific to one person,
we use “the”.
Ex: He is having talks with the French foreign
minister.

15. 15
2. Superlative
We use the with superlative
adjectives.
Ex: She’s the best person for the job.

16. 16
These adjectives can be used with
or without the but there is a
change of meaning.
Example: I saw Socheata last night.
(the one before this one)
Example: It’s the last day of our holiday.
(the final one)
