ARTICLES

Refer to something in general or specific.

ARTICLES

A,an-indefinite, used before singular countable nouns

EXAMPLE

A hammer, an orange, a university, an hour

The-definite,used before both singular and plural nouns, and before both countable and uncountable nouns

.EXAMPLE

The star, the trees, the third, in the year

We choose a or an because of pronounciation, not spelling

Eg : an hour ( h is silent, so hour is like our )

a university (  pronounced ‘ you-niversity’ )

a one-pound stamp ( pronounced ‘ wun……’)

a European ( pronounced ‘ you-ropean’)

At the end of the presentation, they do a game like snake game. we must answer the question from them and if the answer are correct, we can go forward and if the answer are wrong we must back forward.
