Unit 1 Articles

The use of articles in English is complex, and there are a lot of

exceptions that need to be remembered and learned.

Here are the basic rules.

A/an

Use a/an to refer to a singular countable noun which is indefinite –

either we don’t know which one, or it doesn't matter which one.

They live in a lovely house.

I'm reading a good book at the moment.

She’s expecting a baby.

Use a/an to describe what something or someone is.

That's an instrument for measuring distance.

She’s a lawyer.

The

Use the before a singular or plural noun, when both the speaker and the

listener know which specific object is being referred to.

They live in the green house on top of the hill.

The book I’m reading is all about the emancipation of women.

Mind the baby! She’s near the fire.

The sweater I bought is blue.

Use the before a noun if it is the only one (the Queen, the Earth, the

Atlantic). Also use it with certain public places, especially when

referring to them in a general way:

I went to the theatre last night.

I have to go to the bank.

It should also be used when referring to general groups of people (the

French, the rich and famous)

Zero article

Use no article with plural and uncountable nouns when talking about

things in general.

Compare the use of articles in the following sentences.

Money is the root of all evil. (general)

Put the money on the table. (specific)

Love conquers all. (general).

The love I have for you will last for ever. (specific)

Gas is cheaper than electricity. (general)

I forgot to pay the bill, and now the gas has been cut off. (specific)

Final points

Notice the difference between the use of articles in the following

sentences:

My daughter is at school.

The meeting will be held at the school.

I go to church on Sundays.

The firemen went to the church to put out the fire.

He was rushed to hospital immediately.

I’m going to the hospital to visit him.

The use of the emphasises the place simply as a building. The use without

the suggests that the place is being used for its proper function as an

institution, i.e. a place of learning, healing etc.

Pubs, hotels, theatres, and cinemas usually have the

the Prince William

the London Hilton

the Albany Empire

the Odeon

Some geographical areas have the.

seas the Mediterranean

rivers the Seine; the Mississippi

island groups the Seychelles

mountain groups the Alps

deserts the Sahara

Streets, roads, and squares etc. in towns usually have no article.

Oxford Street

Portobello Road

Hyde Park

Leicester Square

Victoria Station

Other nouns which take no article are:

lakes Lake Superior, Lake Victoria

countries Spain, Norway, China

continents Asia, Europe

The following types of noun take no article when referred to generally:

games squash, football, chess

academic subjects medicine, literature, physics

abstract nouns freedom, understanding

meals dinner, tea, breakfast

Compare these sentences:

Do you prefer hockey or football?

The football they play in America is different from the kind they play in

England.

The dinner they served yesterday was the best I remember.
