8.  The indefinite article generally means ‘one’ or ‘any’, e.g. I saw a (one) girl in the park. Please, give me a (any) pen.  We use it when we introduce something mentioned for the first time, as long as it is a countable noun in singular;  Discuss these examples: 1. I bought sugar, biscuits and an apple. 2. He wanted power, not money. 3. A student left the room. The student was crying. The Indefinite Article ‘a, an’

9. 1. I bought sugar, biscuits and an apple. Only ‘apple’ is a singular and countable noun. ‘Sugar’ is uncountable, ‘biscuits’ is countable and plural. 2. He wanted power, not money. Power and money are uncountable nouns. 3. A student left the room. The student was crying. ‘Student’ in the first sentence is mentioned for the first time, but in the second the reader knows which student is referred to, therefore, the definite article is used. The Indefinite Article ‘a, an’

10.  Used for all kinds of nouns when the reader knows which thing(s) or person(s) is/are referred to. They were either mentioned earlier in the text, are obvious from the context, or there is only one of it in general. Both the speaker and the interlocutor know which one is talked about.  Discuss these examples: 1. The President gave a speech. 2. I’m afraid I lost the money you gave me. 3. ‘Pass the salt, please!’ The Definite Article ‘the’

11. 1. The President gave a speech. It is obvious that it is the president of the given country, and there is only one. 2. I’m afraid I lost the money you gave me. ‘ Money’ is defined here. It is THE money that you gave me. 3. ‘Pass the salt, please!’ Not salt in general, but the salt on the table. The Definite Article ‘the’

12. Nouns are often followed by a phrase giving us more information on the noun. Generally speaking, the definite article defines the noun (which one?) and the indefinite article describes it (what kind? what like?) Look at the following examples: 1. I saw a boy with blue eyes. 2. I saw the boy with blue eyes. Defining and describing

13. Summary: - the indefinite article ‘a’ comes from the word ‘one’ and, therefore, cannot stand with a plural noun or with an uncountable noun (it can often be replaced by ‘one’ or ‘any’) - the definite article ‘the’ does not depend on the number or countability. It denotes a specific concept, person or thing (it can often be replaced by ‘this’ or ‘that’, or sometimes ‘all’). - the zero article is used with general plural or uncountable nouns, or with abstract nouns used in general terms The Article (a, the, Ø)

14.  Discuss the difference in the meaning of the noun in the following pairs of sentences: 1.I ate a sandwich. I ate the sandwich. 2.A man you hate was there. The man you hate was there. 3. I saw a film which had won an Oscar. I saw the film which had won an Oscar. Exercise 1
