Key Topics to Revise

1

Types of Articles

  • There are two types of articles: indefinite (a, an) and definite (the).
  • Indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are used when referring to something general or non-specific.
  • Definite article 'the' is used when referring to something specific or already known.
2

Rules for Using 'A' and 'An'

  • Use 'a' before singular countable nouns starting with a consonant sound (e.g., a boy, a tree).
  • Use 'an' before singular countable nouns starting with a vowel sound (e.g., an apple, an egg).
  • Silent 'h' makes a word start with a vowel sound — use 'an' (e.g., an hour, an honest man).
3

Rules for Using 'The'

  • Use 'the' to refer to specific or previously mentioned things (e.g., The book on the table is mine).
  • Use 'the' with superlatives (e.g., She is the tallest girl).
  • Use 'the' with ordinal numbers (e.g., the first prize, the third floor).
4

When No Article is Used

  • No article is used with proper nouns (e.g., Delhi, Ashok).
  • No article is used with abstract nouns (e.g., wisdom, beauty).
  • No article is used with material nouns (e.g., gold, water, milk) when general.
