Grammar Focus:
ARTICLES (A, An, The)
What is an article? Basically, an article is an adjective. Like adjectives, articles
modify nouns.
English has two articles: the and a/an. he is used to refer to s!ecific or !articular
nouns" a/an is used to modify non#s!ecific or non#!articular nouns. We call the the definite
article and a/an the indefinitearticle.
the $ definite article
a/an $ indefinite article
%or e&am!le, if ' say, (Let)s read the *ook,( ' mean aspecific*ook. 'f ' say, (Let)s
read a *ook,( ' mean any*ook rather than a s!ecific *ook.
+ere)s another way to e&!lain it: he is used to refer to a specificorparticular
mem*er of a grou!. %or e&am!le, (' just saw the most !o!ular movie of the year.( here are
many movies, *ut only one !articular movie is the most !o!ular. herefore, we use the.
(/an( is used to refer to a non-specificor non-particularmem*er of the grou!. %or
e&am!le, (' would like to go see a movie.( +ere, we)re not talking a*out a specificmovie.
We)re talking a*out anymovie. here are many movies, and ' want to see anymovie. ' don)t
have a s!ecific one in mind.Let)s look at each kind of article a little more closely.
A. Indefinite Articles: a and an
(( and (an( signal that the noun modified is indefinite, referring to anymem*er of a
grou!. %or e&am!le:
(-y daughter really wants a dog for hristmas.( his refers to anydog. We don)t
know which dog *ecause we haven)t found the dog yet.
(ome*ody call a !oliceman0( his refers to any!oliceman. We don)t need a s!ecific
!oliceman" we need any !oliceman who is availa*le. (When ' was at the 1oo, ' saw an ele!hant0( +ere, we)re talking a*out a single, non#
s!ecific thing, in this case an ele!hant. here are !ro*a*ly several ele!hants at the
1oo, *ut there)s only onewe)re talking a*out here.
. Remem!er, usin" a or an de#ends on the sound that !e"ins the ne$t %ord. So...
a 2 singular noun *eginning with a consonant: a boy; a car; a bike; a zoo; a dog
an 2 singular noun *eginning with a vowel: an elephant; an egg; an apple; an idiot;
an orphan

a 2 singular noun *eginning with a consonant sound: a user3sounds like )yoo#1er,) i.e.
*egins with a consonant )y) sound, so )a) is used4"a university" a unicycle
an 2 nouns starting with silent (h(: an hour
a 2 nouns starting with a !ronounced (h(: a horseo 'n some cases where (h( is !ronounced, such as (historical,( you can use an.
+owever, a is more commonly used and !referred.
historical event is worth recording.
5emem*er that these rules also a!!ly when you use acronyms:
'ntroductory om!osition at 6urdue 3'a64 handles first#year writing at the
7niversity. herefore, an 'a6 memo generally discusses issues concerning English 89
instructors.
nother case where this rule a!!lies is when acronyms start with consonant letters *ut
have vowel sounds:
n -; 3material safety data sheet4 was used to record the data. n 6 !lan
3!ill 6revention ontrol and ountermeasures !lan4 will hel! us !re!are for the worst.
'f the noun is modified *y an adjective, the choice *etween a and an de!ends on the
initial sound of the adjective that immediately follows the article:
a *roken egg
an unusual !ro*lem
a Euro!ean country 3sounds like )yer#o#!i#an,) i.e. *egins with consonant )y) sound4
5emem*er, too, that in English, the indefinite articles are used to indicate mem*ershi!
in a grou!:
' am a teacher. 3' am a mem*er of a large grou! known as teachers.4 Brian is an 'rishman. 3Brian is a mem*er of the !eo!le known as 'rish.4
eiko is a !racticing Buddhist. 3eiko is a mem*er of the grou! of !eo!le known as
Buddhists.4
C. &efinite Article: the
he definite article is used *efore singular and !lural nouns when the noun is s!ecific
or !articular. he signals that the noun is definite, that it refers to a !articular mem*er of a
grou!. %or e&am!le:
(he dog that *it me ran away.( +ere, we)re talking a*out aspecificdog, the dog that*it me.
(' was ha!!y to see the !oliceman who saved my cat0( +ere, we)re talking a*out a
particular!oliceman. Even if we don)t know the !oliceman)s name, it)s still a !articular
!oliceman *ecause it is the one who saved the cat.
(' saw the ele!hant at the 1oo.( +ere, we)re talking a*out a specificnoun. 6ro*a*ly
there is only one ele!hant at the 1oo.

by repeating the words spo#en +direct speech
by reporting the words spo#en +indirect or reported speech.
Direct Speech
9 +for e!ample a telephone conversation, or telling someone later about aprevious conversation!amples:
She says "What time will you be home?"She said "What time will you be home?"and I said "I don't know!8"There's a fly in my soup!" screamed Simone.
ohn said, "There's an elephant outside the window."
Reported Speech
?eported speech is usually used to tal# about the past, so we normally change thetense of the words spo#en. 9e use reporting verbs li#e 'say','tell', 'ask', and we mayuse the word 'that'to introduce the reported words. &nverted commas are not used.She said, "I saw him." She said that she had seen him.
a.'That'may be omitted:She told him that she was happy.
She told him she was happy.
Grammar Focus:
/.'Say' and 'tell':@se 'say'when there is no indirect object:
e said that he was tired.
Always use 'tell'when you say who was being spo#en to +i.e. with an
indirect object:
e told me that he was tired.
'Talk'and 'speak'are used:
B to describe the action of communicating:
e talked to us.
She was speakin on the telephone.
B with 'about'to refer to what was said:e talked #to us$ about his parents.
