Немного об артикле.
Когда мы называем предмет в первый раз и он еще неизвестен собеседнику, мы используем неопределенный артикль a.
Когда мы вторично называем предмет или называем предмет, уже известный собеседнику, мы используем определенный артикль the.
Например: This is a ball. The ball is red.
Артикль a употребляется только с исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе: a day, a student. С неисчисляемыми существительными употребляется нулевой артикль. Например: This is water. I’d like information.
Если существительное или описывающее его прилагательное начинаются с гласной, то артикль принимает форму "an".
Например: a story, a box. Но: an apple, an orange, an interesting book, an easy task.
Перед именами людей, названиями стран, городов, улиц артикль не употребляется.
