 Articles

•
There are three articles: definite article "the,"
and indefinite articles "a" and "an.”

The definite article "the" refers to a specific

noun, while indefinite articles "a" and "an"
refer to any one of a group of nouns.
Example:
• The parent would like to meet the principal
• The girl bought an applefrom the market
 Demonstratives

•
Demonstratives are used to point out specific
persons, places, or things. The most common
demonstratives are "this," "that," "these," and
"those.”
"This" and "these" refer to things close in distance or
time, while "that" and "those" refer to things farther
away.
Example:
• This book is interesting.
• I want to buy that car.

something.

something.

uncountable nouns. Common quantifiers
