Trang 11o 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 ‘/jun ɪfɔːm/ 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 whendescribing how to use articles.Essentially when we talk about thezero article, we mean that we don’t useany 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
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
– 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 whichrefers 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 theindefinite article and from then on we use thedefinite 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 impliedthat 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 thelistener knows what is being talked about
Miscellanous In addition, the is used in the
following special circumstances
Exceptions include: the Hague; the Matterhorn; the 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 aparticular 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.
