Page 1: Basic Article Usage and Rules
This page provides comprehensive guidance on correct use of definite and indefinite articles examples and their application in English grammar. The content explains the fundamental rules for using articles 'a,' 'an,' and 'some,' along with their specific contexts.
Definition: Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific.
Example: The difference between "a cat" anycat and "an ocean" anyocean demonstrates the basic usage of indefinite articles.
Highlight: The choice between 'a' and 'an' depends on the sound that follows, not necessarily the letter itself, as shown in cases like "an hour" silenth versus "a hot dog" pronouncedh.
Vocabulary: Countable nouns are objects that can be counted e.g.,cats,books, while uncountable nouns cannot be counted e.g.,milk,water.
Quote: "Some is also used with uncountable nouns: some milk."
