Lesson ID

Today's purpose: you are able to use articles and talk about plans and predictions

Now open your books on page 7

How do you usually spend your weekends?

Take a guess: how do you think your teacher spends her weekends? 

Question to you: who do you usually spend your weekends with? 

What kind of plans do you make? 

Articles A, An, The

- We use A/AN when we talk about something for the first time.  We use THE if we mention it again . Example: We've got .... cat and ... alpaca. ... cat is black.

- we use THE when it's clear what we're talking about, perhaps because there is only one of them. Example: Let's go to ... park

- We use A to say what someone's job is.

example: My uncle is ... taxi driver

- We don't use an article when we are making a generalisation.

I don't like ... spicy food  --> NOT I don't like ... spicy food.

We use A to mean 'per or 'in each

example: She earns 10 euros ...  hour
