Okay, when do we use the indefinite article an, the definite article the, or no article used?
00:00:02
Okay, let's go first of all with a, an.
00:00:13
We use it for singular countable nouns that are not specific.
00:00:17
I can't find a taxi.
00:00:22
Okay, they are not talking about one taxi in particular.
00:00:25
okay they are talking about any taxi. A noun is often indefinite the first time
00:00:30
a speaker mentions it so I have got a car the car is red okay then you can use
00:00:39
the with the verbs to be and have got example have you got a pen are you a
00:00:46
a superstar okay you use a and when do we use the with things we have already
00:00:57
mentioned or when it's clear who or what we are referring to you know example she
00:01:04
bought a laptop they told her the laptop had a three-year guarantee okay so a
00:01:10
laptop but then we change to the laptop because it's one in particular okay here
00:01:18
we didn't know about what laptop we were talking but now after this we know which laptop we are
00:01:25
talking about so it's the laptop with things that are unique such as the internet the sun the moon
00:01:31
and so on we don't use an article okay with proper nouns so we don't say a paula or the paula
00:01:40
For the names of sports, games, activities, days, celebrations, colors, meals, drinks, languages
00:01:50
So you don't say I play a football or I play the football
00:01:57
No, I play football
00:02:02
I learn English
00:02:04
No, I learn English or I learn the English
00:02:06
I learn English
00:02:09
No article used
00:02:11
And then for names of countries, cities, streets, squares, bridges, parks, mountains, lakes, islands
00:02:12
continents and so on so for example you don't say the Spain or a Spain it's
00:02:19
Spain and that's all without any article used in it okay I hope that you
00:02:26
understood and that is all for this video
