Вправа 1
Розділи на групи:
_ ink, _book, _ island, _ cat, _ car, _apple, _ fox, _ hand, _ hat
Зверни увагу! Артикль не ставимо перед множиною
an apple – apples
a red apple – red apples
Якщо перед іменником стоять наступні слова: my, his, her, your, this, that то артикль не ставимо.
Example:
This is my pen. I am looking for your bag.
Якщо говоримо про предмет вперше, то перед іменником ставимо a\an. Якщо ж предмет згадується вдруге в реченні, то перед ним ставимо артикль The
Ex. This is a book. The book is interesting
