Category: Articles in English
Learning Articles in English is one of the first steps in grammar study. Articles are short words that define nouns as specific or general. For example: a book, the book. Even though they look simple, many learners find them confusing because article use in English does not always match their native language.
How Articles in English Work
There are two types of articles: definite (the) and indefinite (a, an). The definite article refers to something specific, while the indefinite article refers to something general or non-specific. For example: I saw a dog in the park (any dog). I saw the dog again later (a specific dog). Lessons in this category explain rules step by step and provide clear examples to help you understand. Exercises will give you practice so that article use becomes natural.
Why Articles in English Are Important
Without articles, sentences often sound incomplete or incorrect. Practicing Articles in English will help you communicate more accurately and avoid common mistakes such as leaving out the or confusing a and an. With examples and exercises, youβll learn when to use each article and gain confidence in both writing and speaking.
