English Articles – 3 Simple Rules To Fix Common Grammar Mistakes & Errors
This lesson will teach you three simple rules to help you to use English articles better.
I KNOW this is a lesson that you need to watch because articles are one of the most complicated parts of English grammar!
There are lots of rules and lots of exceptions for using English articles, so in this lesson, I've tried to explain them more clearly to you.
There are three English articles - a, an and the. It is also possible to have no article. Using each of these articles changes the meaning of your sentence.
Even though articles are a challenging part of speaking English, they are a really important part of English!
They give information about the noun they come before. Using articles incorrectly can make your sentences confusing or sound strange!
To improve your English fluency and sound more natural you need to use English articles well.
To get better exam results, you need to improve the way you use articles - especially in your writing tests!
I hope these three simple rules will help you to do that!

=============================
Why do you take so long to introduce yourself and the language? It's a boring thing.
1)Define the noun that it comes before
2.Definite and Indefinite
3. Singular and plural
4. Specific and
5. Unique nouns-the
6. Indefinite or definite article:
1)First introduce about noun
The second time-the (stories)
Which specific noun you are talking about
2) Unique nouns-the
The sun
The president
The Queen of England
3) A track crashed into a tree, the driver was injured
4) Superlative article-the- because it is alone
5) Named things-the
The Himolays
The United States
The United Nations
The Eiffels
6) Exceptions:
1. The names of people
2. The names of Lakes and Islands
Plural: the
The Great Lakes
The Galapagos islands
7)Ordinal numbers:The
8) Why sometimes we don't use an article:
1. General speaking noun, we are not specifing about which particular noun
Pens(specific, exist-we use, but general-don't use)
The pens that you are using, that on the desk
I prefer black pens
I bought pens for you
I really like eating cake-I really like the cake that you made
I prefer to use black (-) pens
I am allergic to strawberries
Information
Knowledge
Equipment
The information is available at the counter
Information is available at the counter
Uncountable-we don't need "s"
😇😇😇I love it!
Can you please explain why it is: "Information is available at the counter" and not "a couter" or "counters. Is this counter specific or unique? Was it introduced before? Thank you so much in advance for your answer.
Mam you are very cute!

BF PE<Do Well Played and qthe and
Yeap.
And I saw an English Queen ten yers ago, right? First mention, right? Folks, rule number 4: nobody cares as much. When you are not confident, use other determiners: some( not only in plura,l no); any.; this; that, etc.
