Problems with articles

Articles are very difficult to learn because there are many rules, many exceptions, and many special cases. It is possible, however, to learn a few rules that will help you to use articles correctly much of the time.

Nouns in English can be either countable or uncontable. If a noun is countable, it must be either singular or plural. In addition to these general types of nouns, there are two types of articles: definite (specific) and indefinite (general).

ARTICLES COUNTABLE COUNTABLE UNCOUNTABLE
SINGULAR PLURAL NOUNS
NOUNS NOUNS

indefinite a dollar dollars money
(general) an apple apples juice

definite the dollar the dollars the money
(specific) the apple the apples the juice

definite
