Slide 1 - Tekstslide

Let's see how much we 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 2 - Tekstslide

The answer
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 6 articles in it.

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

Articles
Articles are placed before a noun,   In English we know two types of articles: THE (definite article) and A or AN (both INdefinite articles)


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

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Definite article use
We use the definite article when the reader or listener understands which thing we're talking about because:

1. We've introduced it already. "The man rubs his head and says, 'Ouch! Where'd that bar come from?'"
2. There is only one in existence that matters. "We visited the Sistine Chapel when we were in Rome."
3. We describe exactly which one we're talking about. "Let's open the Chardonnay that Pam and Dale gave us for our anniversary."

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Indefinite article
We use the indefinite article (a / an) when: 

1.  We talk about a thing which is new, unknown, or introduced to a listener for the first time. 
" I need a new phone" 

2.  We don't care which one exactly and talking about something in general. 
Example: I started reading a really good book yesterday. 

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

The articles a/an
 A is put before closed sounds: the consonants.

a pet               a teacher           a bycicle
a car                  a door               a room
 

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

The articles a/an
An is used for a noun with an open sound: the vowels

an ear            an investigation         an officer
an apple            an Englishman          an answer
 

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

ATTENTION!
So, the choice od 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 9 - Tekstslide

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)
