Advanced Article Usage


In part 3 of the English Articles Tutorial, we finish up our list of 25 articles
usage tips. Here, we take a look at some of the exceptions and more
advanced topics relating to the use of A(AN) and THE.

A / AN can be used like the word "per".

Examples:

 Apples currently cost $1.30 a pound.


 Cheetahs can run 60 miles an hour.
 You want $150 a person for the tour?
102

Use THE with nouns modified by ranking or ordering expressions such as "the


first", "the second", "the third", "the next", "the last", "the previous", "the
following", "the penultimate", etc.

Examples:

 This is the fifth day of our conference.


 I'll pay the next time we have dinner.
 Don't forget the following rule.

Use THE with superlatives such as "the best", "the biggest", "the most


important", "the least interesting", etc.

Examples:

 This is the best day ever.


 That is the most expensive hotel room I've ever heard of in my life.
 He told the funniest joke!

Comparative forms, such as "bigger", "better", "more" can be used with


both A(AN) and THE and follow general article usage.

Examples:

 I like the bigger roller coaster.


 He has a more expensive car than I do.

HOWEVER: THE is often used with comparative forms (bigger) rather than


superlative forms (biggest) when comparing only two things. This is commonly
used in phrases such as "the bigger of the two".

Examples:

 Jessie and Shauna are both smart. But I think Shauna is the smarter
of the two.
103

 Between Jason's son and his daughter, his daughter is the better


athlete.

Do not use articles when generalizing about uncountable nouns and


plural countable nouns.

Examples:

 Curiosity is a great trait. Uncountable


 Water is an important resource. Uncountable
 Vegetables are good for you. Plural countable

English speakers often use THE plus a singular noun when they talk about or
make generalizations about certain topics, including:

 musical instruments (the piano, the guitar, the flute)


 plants (the coconut palm, the saguaro, the baobab)
 animals (the leopard, the elephant, the lowland gorilla)
 inventions (the steam engine, the plane, the light bulb)
 currencies (the dollar, the euro, the yen)
 body parts (the head, the eye, the ear)

Examples:

 I play the piano.
 The sequoia tree is native to California.
 The dolphin is a very intelligent animal.
 The Wright brothers invented the airplane.
 Right now, the euro is stronger than the dollar.
 Cheryl got poked in the eye.

In general, English speakers choose to use THE in this way to give the noun a
more abstract or conceptual sound. We choose to say "the piano" to make it
sound more like an abstract art form. Similarly, "the dolphin" sounds more like
we are referring to the species. Moreover, "the plane" has a more conceptual
104

sound that conveys the idea of invention. But remember, you can also make
generalizations about these topics using plurals as in USE 15.

The expressions "a few" and "a little" mean "some" and express the idea that
you have more than expected.

Examples:

 He always carries a few dollars for emergencies.


 He had a little difficulty with his homework.
 She has a few friends who can help her move.

HOWEVER: The expressions "few" and "little" (without an article) mean "not
much" and express the idea that you have less than expected.

Examples:

 Unfortunately, I had little time to enjoy New York because I had to


work so much.
 Sadly, he has few people in his life.
 They have little money, so their daughter cannot pay her tuition.

BUT REMEMBER: When the words "only" or "just" are used, "a few" and "a
little" also emphasize the meaning "not much".

Examples:

 Unfortunately, I only had a little time to enjoy New York because I


had to work so much.
 Sadly, he just has a few people in his life.
 They only have a little money, so their daughter cannot pay her
tuition.

Generally, articles are not used with the names of illnesses or diseases.

Examples:
105

 Dr. Smith visits schools and universities to educate students


on AIDS.
 Oncologists are doctors who specialize in treating cancer.
 There are several medications that can be used to treat malaria.

HOWEVER: There are some illnesses which require THE.

 the measles
 the flu
 the mumps
 the bubonic plague

MOREOVER: There are a few health conditions or illnesses which can be


used with both A(AN) as well as THE and follow general article use. This
category includes most aches, pains, growths, and attacks.

 a cold
 a heart attack
 a stroke
 a wart / tumor / growth / etc.
 a sore throat / sore back/ sore foot / etc.
 a headache / toothache / backache / etc.

REMEMBER: This last category follows general article use. Study the
examples below.

Examples:

 John has a cold. The cold was pretty bad.


 Nancy had a heart attack. The heart attack seriously weakened her
heart.
 Deb had a sore throat. The sore throat made it hard to talk.

If a direction (north, west, southeast, left, right) directly follows a verb, do not
use an article with the direction.
106

Examples:

 We need to walk south.
 They drove north all day.
 At the stop sign, turn left and walk three blocks.

HOWEVER: If a direction follows a preposition, you must use THE.

Examples:

 We need to walk to the south.


 Our house is in the north.
 The grocery store is on the right.

MOREOVER: Use THE with compass directions when referring to them as


special geographic or cultural regions.

Examples:

 We love the South.
 Have you ever visited the East?
 The West has better national parks.

THE can be used with plural family names to refer to the family as a group.

Examples:

 The Robinsons love to vacation in Florida.


 The Shinoharas are originally from Japan.
 My brother lives next door to the Jacksons.

THE can be combined with certain adjectives to refer to a group of people


such as "the blind", "the elderly", "the rich", "the French", "the Sioux", etc.

Examples:

 He is elderly. Adjective
107

 The organization helps the elderly. Elderly people

REMEMBER: This is especially important in situations where nationalities or


ethnic groups and their languages might be confused. In such
situations, THE is used to specify that we are talking about the nationality or
ethnic group rather than the language.

Examples:

 I like French. Language
 I like the French. The French people

HOWEVER: When generalizing about nationalities or ethnic groups that end


in "-ans", such as "Americans", "Mexicans", and "Hawaiians", THE is not
usually used.

Examples:

 Americans watch a lot of TV.


 Germans drink a lot of beer.

Do not use THE with the names of most countries unless the name contains a
word such as "States", "Kingdom", "Republic", "Emirates", "Union", "Coast",
etc.

Examples:

 I love Italy.
 John used to live in Japan.
 He lives in the United States.

SIMILARLY: Don't use THE with states, provinces, and cities unless THE is


specifically part of the name or contains a word such as "Territory" or "Coast".

Examples:

 He lives in California.
108

 Ladakh is in India.
 The Northwest Territories is a province in Canada.

EXCEPTIONS: THE is used with "the Netherlands" as well as with many


nations which are island chains, such as "the Philippines", "the Maldives", "the
Bahamas", etc. Additionally, in the past, THE was used with certain countries
such as "the Sudan", "the Gambia", and "the Congo"; this usage is becoming
less common.

Examples:

 He lives in the Netherlands.


 I visited the Bahamas last year.

Use THE with the names of:

 oceans
 seas
 coasts
 rivers
 swamps
 archipelagos
 collections of lakes (such as the Great Lakes)
 mountain chains
 deserts
 references on the globe (such as the Equator, the North Pole)
 geographic regions (such as the Northwest, the Middle East)
 bridges (except Tower Bridge)
 pagodas
 hotels
 theaters
 museums
 institutes
 skyscrapers
 the Sun, the Moon
109

 extraordinary works of art or architecture (such as the Mona Lisa, the


Colosseum, the Great Wall of China, and the Taj Mahal).

Examples:

 James visited the Hermitage, a famous museum in St. Petersburg.


 I would love to visit the North Pole.
 Nina walked over the Rialto Bridge.

Do not use an article with:

 individual lakes
 individual islands
 beaches
 waterfalls
 individual mountains (except the Matterhorn)
 canyons (except the Grand Canyon)
 people's first names
 streets (except the High Street)
 public squares
 hospitals
 stadiums
 malls
 parks
 churches
 temples

 colleges
 languages
 religions
 days
 months
 holidays
110

Examples:

 Have you ever visited Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris?


 Kenta is Buddhist.
 We went camping in King's Canyon.

HOWEVER: There are additional exceptions to some of the above categories.


For example, THE is often used in the pattern "the ... of ...".

Examples:

 The University of Colorado
 The Temple of Ranakpur
 The Cathedral of Siena

Time expressions can be especially confusing. THE is used in some time


expressions such as:

 in the morning
 in the afternoon
 in the evening
 during the night
 during the day
 the day before yesterday
 the day after tomorrow
 the fall
 the summer

Examples:

 We'll meet in the afternoon.


 Jake loves to go camping in the fall.
 There was a small earthquake during the night.
111

HOWEVER: In other time expressions, no article is used:

 at night

 all day
 all night
 all month

 every year
 last night
 last Friday
 yesterday
 tomorrow

Examples:

MOREOVER: There are some expressions which can take


both A(AN) and THE such as:

 a/the whole day

 an/the entire decade

Examples:

 He spent a whole month in Hawaii. I wish I could do that.

Words that can be both countable and uncountable

Many, many words can be used in both an uncountable way and a countable way. This is
especially true of uncountable food and drink, such as 'coffee' or 'yogurt'. When we're
talking in general about coffee or yogurt, the words are uncountable. But, we can use
them in a countable way when we mean 'one cup of' or 'one pot of':

 Uncountable: Coffee is my favourite drink.


 Countable: Could you buy two coffees and two teas, please?
 Uncountable: My children eat a lot of yogurt.
 Countable: I bought a pack of six yogurts.

Other words that act like this include: water, juice, salad, curry and cake.

Another way that we use uncountable nouns in a countable way is when we use the word
to mean 'a kind of' or 'a type of':

 Uncountable: She loves cheese.


 Countable: That shop sells lots of cheeses (=different kinds of cheese).

Other words that can be used in this way include jam, wood, plastic, bread, metal, fabric.
There are a few words that change their meaning depending on if they used in a
countable way or an uncountable way.

ngilis dilində sayıla bilən, sayıla bilməyən (həmişə tək olan) və həmişə cəmdə
işlənən isimlər var. Bu dəfəki yazıda bu tiplərin hər birinə aid, bir-birinə oxşar
olan sözləri nəzərdən keçirəcəyik.

“Cloth” fərqli mənalarla həm sayıla bilən, həm də sayıla bilməyən isim kimi
çıxış edir. Sayıla bilməyən isim kimi “cloth” parça deməkdir, sayıla bilən isim
kimi isə “a cloth” əski, bez, təmizlik bezi deməkdir. İkinci mənada (sayıla
bilən) bu sözün cəmi clothes yox, cloths olur.

 cotton cloth – pambıq parça


 Use separate cloths and buckets when cleaning the floor. – Döşəməni
təmizləyərkən ayrı bez və vedrələrdən istifadə et.

“Clothes” paltar, geyim deməkdir, cəm isimdir və tək forması yoxdur. Cəm
olmasına baxmayaraq, bu söz ədədlərlə işlənmir. “Four clothes” demək
yanlışdır, amma “some clothes” (bir neçə paltar) demək olar.

“Clothing” paltar, geyim deməkdir və sayılmayan isimdir. Geyimləri saymaq


üçün “item” sözündən istifadə edilir. Məsələn, “an item of clothing”, “four items
of clothing”
