Articles Determiners and Punctuations

• There are 3 types of Articles: ‘A’, ‘An’, and ‘The’
• Articles are used before

Be careful!
First, we use ‘a’ or ‘an’. After we use ‘the’.
Example: She had a cheese sandwich and crisps for lunch. She didn’t like the sandwich.
We stayed in an old hotel. There was a swimming pool in the hotel.

Choose the correct article: a, an, the or (no article)

A determiner is used before a noun to specify quantity (e.g., “one dog,” “many dogs”) or to clarify what the noun refers to (e.g., “my dog,” “that dog“, “the dog”). All determiners can be classified as one of the following:

• Article (a/an, the)
• Demonstrative (this, that, these, those)
• Possessive (my, your, his, her, its, our, their)
• Quantifier (many, much, more, most, some)

Examples of determiners in a sentence:

Articles:
•The man is behaving so strangely.

Demonstratives:
•These apples are good.
•Those mangoes are rotten.
•That place is so crowded

Possessives:
•His father is out of the city.
•Do you know its functions?
•Are you going to their house?
•It’s my book.
•Which is your car?

Quantifiers:

•He was our most famous president.
•We ate all the food.

Numerals:
