Lesson No 01.  A

Articles


a , an and the are called the articles then they are also called noun maskers or determiners since they signal when coming of a noun in a sentence. we discuss about articles under two steps 


Step 01

Definite and indefinite articles


'a and 'an are called as 'the indefinite articles then the is called as the definite articles


see the following example


Ben is an accountant 

Carol is a director
Ben is an accountant at Microsoft
Carol is a director at Microsoft 
Ben is the chief accountant at Microsoft
Carol is the managing director at Microsoft

In above sentences we are talking about two people Ben and Carlo we speak about their jobs. Since there can be many accountants and directors in first four sentences we are not making a definite sentence. in because Microsoft can have more then one accountants and more then one directors.



then we are making the definite statements in last two sentences. because when we speak of the chief accountant and managing director we know that can be only one position so that is why we use definite statements in the last two sentences in making these sentences. to give an indefinite meaning we use the indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' then to give a definite meaning we use the definite article 'the 

'a' and 'an' before a noun shows that it's a indefinite while 'the' shows that it's definite

when we speak of a person or thing for the first time we use indefinite articles and when we speak of them or those again we use the definite article 
See the example following 

I purchased a new car → first time

The care is blue color  → again 

( we use the in more sentences and places it's another lesson  we will be discuss about later )


 Step 02

Indefinite Articles 


( use of a and an )


the indefinite article has two forms a and an see the following notes to get knowledge how to use a and an in the sentences



Used with an

words starting with a vowel sound ( a,e,i,o,u)
eg:-  1. an invoice    2. an activity   
       3. an income    4. an egg   

beginning with a consonant but having vowel sound at the beginning
 eg:- 1. an hour        2. an honor

Used with a

words beginning with a consonant sound 
eg:- 1. a receipt    2. a mango     3. a boy

words beginning with a vowel but having consonant sound
eg:-  1. a university    2. a union

End of the lesson
