 ARTICLES A, AN, THE, ZERO
There are lots of rules about the use of articles. Here we’ll concentrate on 3 golden rules. Most mistakes
with articles are made through breaking one of these rules.

1. When we say what people’s jobs are, we use a/an

2. Singular, countable nouns always have an article – a/an or the – or another determiner (my, your, this,
that etc.)

Remember that we use the indefinite article - a/an - when we talk about something that is not definite.

3. When we talk about things in general we usually use a plural noun or an uncountable noun with no
article.

People’s jobs have a/an. He’s an architect.

Singular countable nouns have an article. That’s the woman I met last week.
Things in general – no article. Cats like mice.
