Articles A, An, The

- We use A when we talk about something for the first time. We use THE if we mention it again

example: We've got a cat and a dog. The 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 the park

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

example: My uncle is a 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 the spicy food.

We use a to mean 'per or 'in each

example: She earns 10 euros an hour
