Articles (lidwoorden) 

The

A

An 

No article 

Articles

The	Gebruik je als je specifiek verwijst naar iets die al eerder is benoemd in een zin. Bijv: Can you pass me the salt ?
A	Gebruik je voor woorden die IN DE UITSPRAAK beginnen met een medeklinker. Je praat over iets algemeens, niet over iets specifieks.
An	Gebruik je bij woorden die IN DE UITSPRAAK met een klinker beginnen. In gebruik is dit verder hetzelfde als "A" (A, E, I, O, U) : an apple

No article 

Soms gebruik je helemaal geen lidwoord; de regels hiervoor lijken erg op het Nederlands maar er zijn uitzonderingen. 

Bij namen van straten, scholen, meren, bergen GEEN lidwoord. 

I live on Main street. I go to Dr. Knippenbergcollege.

I live near Lake Placid. I climbed Mount Everest. 

A / an for jobs 

In het Nederlands gebruik je in de volgende gevallen wél een lidwoord terwijl je dat in het Engels niet doet: 

bij namen van banen komt dit het meeste voor. 

My father is a builder, my mother is a nurse. 

No article or the 

Sommige woorden komen zowel met als zonder lidwoord voor. Het gaat dan vooral om gebouwen en instellingen. 

I am in the hospital - je bent in het gebouw
I am in hospital - je ligt er als patient. 

He lives near the school - bij het gebouw.

He goes to university - hij studeert er. 

Time to move around a bit 

On the right side of the classroom (your right) there are four pieces of paper: one with a, one with an, one with the, one empty paper which means "no article".
