the 3 articles in english are a, an and the. the learner has to decide noun-by-noun which one of the articles to use.
in fact, there are 4 choices to make, because sometimes no article is necessary. native-speakers, of course, use the articles correctly without thinking. english learners, on the other hand, need to have some guidelines for making the right choice - particularly those learners whose own language does not have articles.
the guidelines that follow in this lesson should help esl students to a basic understanding of english article use.
the words a, an and the are known as articles.
• we use an before words that begin with vowels (a,e,i,o,u).
e.g. i found an orange boat.
however there are few exceptions like the words honest and hour. in the words honest and hour the alphabet h is silent and therefore the letter o becomes the first alphabet of the word and hence we use the article an.
e.g. mr. smith is an honest man.
i will be with you in an hour.
we use a before words that begin with consonants (all the letters of the alphabet except the vowels).
e.g. bumble is a baby elephant.
• we use the before words that we have already spoken about.
e.g. i bought an apple. the apple is very sweet.
