English Articles - 3 Simple Rules To Fix Common Grammar Mistakes & Errors
This lesson will teach you three simple rules to help you to use English articles better.
I KNOW this is a lesson that you need to watch because articles are one of the most complicated parts of English grammar!
There are lots of rules and lots of exceptions for using English articles, so in this lesson, I’ve tried to explain them more clearly to you.
There are three English articles - a, an and the. It is also possible to have no article. Using each of these articles changes the meaning of your sentence.
Even though articles are a challenging part of speaking English, they are a really important part of English!
They give information about the noun they come before. Using articles incorrectly can make your sentences confusing or sound strange!
To improve your English fluency and sound more natural you need to use English articles well.
To get better exam results, you need to improve the way you use articles - especially in your writing tests!
I hope these three simple rules will help you to do that!
