ARTICLES
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 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 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 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.
