How much do you know already? 
How many articles are in the following sentences?

The brown dog is lying on the floor in 
the corner of the room. It has a red collar
and is eating a steak. It has a ripped-up toy
laying next to it. 

Slide 7 - Slide

The brown dog is lying on the floor in the corner of the room.
It has a red collar and is eating a steak. It has a ripped-up toy laying next to it. 


That means the sentence has 7 articles in it.

Slide 8 - Slide

Articles
Articles are placed before a noun.  
Two types of articles:
  1. Definite article: THE
  2. Indefinite article: or AN 

Examples: 
The book on this shelf is mine.
I’d rather eat a pear than an apple.

Slide 9 - Slide

Definite article: the
You know/understand what you're talking about.

Compare with Dutch:
the = de/het

Slide 10 - Slide

Indefinite article: a/an
1.  A new topic, not mentioned before: 
I need a new phone.

2.  Something in general: 
I started reading a good book yesterday. 

Compare with Dutch:
a/an = een

Slide 11 - Slide

Examples


the/ a pet               the/a teacher           the/a bicycle

 

Slide 12 - Slide

ATTENTION!
The choice of a or an is not what you read on paper, but the sound you hear.

Sometimes you see a noun starting with -h.  However, it is not pronounced! Then you put the article AN before it:  AN hour.
The -h is not pronounced (‘our')



 

Slide 13 - Slide

More examples
an hour  (you hear our)
an honour (you hear onour)
a university (you hear juniversity)
a uniform (you hear juniform)
a European (you hear jeuropean)
