Nouns refer to someone
(people), or something
(animals, things, plants,
activities, places, and
ideas). Nouns can be
specific (Proper Nouns)
or unspecific (Common
Nouns).
https://t.me/sirplz

•A common noun refers to an unspecific
person, thing, place, or idea.
Example: boy, girl, man, woman, cat, etc.
•These words are unspecific because we can
refer them to any boy, girl, woman, or cat.
•A common noun must start with a small letter
unless it starts a sentence.
•There are five types of common nouns.

Determiners tell us
about the number or
amount of nouns. By
adding a determiner in
front of a noun, we can
know whether the noun
is singular or plural.
Articles and quantifiers
are determiners.

Articles ‘a’, ‘an’, and
‘the’ are used to define
a noun as specific or
unspecific. They appear
in front of a noun or an
adjective.
https://t.me/sirplz

1.This is aboy.
2.Theboy is eating an ice-cream.
3.This is theboy who I met yesterday.
4.There is acat under my chair.
5.Thecat is sleeping under thechair.
6.Thechair is made of wood.
7.It is awooden chair.
8.Zara has acat.
9.Thecat is white.
10.Ali puts abook on adesk.
WHERE ARE THE ARTICLES?
https://t.me/sirplz

•Article ‘a’ is used before a singular, countable
noun.
•The noun usually begins with a consonant
letter -b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t,
v, w, y, and z.
Example: a boy, a cat, a day, a market, etc.
•The rule doesn’t apply for ‘unit’, ‘uniform’,
and ‘university’. It is because the words do
not have vowel sounds when spoken.
•Be careful when using letters e, g, h, i, l, r, u,
w, and y as their spellings can represent both
vowel and consonant.
24
https://t.me/sirplz
ARTICLE ‘a’

•Article ‘an’ is used before a singular,
countable noun.
•The nouns usually begins with a vowel letter
-a, e, i, o, and u.
Example:
an eagle, an egg, an umbrella, an orange, etc.
•The rule however doesn’t apply for ‘hour’,
‘honest’, ‘F’, and ‘one-wheel’ . It is because
they do not have vowel sounds when spoken.
Example:
Ali was frustrated because he has an F in
Science.
ARTICLE ‘an’
25
https://t.me/sirplz

•In a sentence, ‘the’ is used before a singular,
plural, countable, or uncountable noun.
•We use ‘the’ to refer to:
1) specificperson, thing, animal, or place.
Example:
-Zara is angry with the boys.
-The boy had stolen my money.
2) someone or something unique
(one and only one).
Example:
-The Prime Minister is giving a speech.
-The sun shines brightly.
ARTICLE ‘the’
26
https://t.me/sirplz

•We use ‘the’ when we refer to someone or
something for the second time.
Example:
Zara went to school. (First time)
The school is near her house (Second Time)
There lived an old man. (First time)
The old man is a fisherman (Second Time)
•‘the’ is also used in front of a superlative
adjective. Example:
Elena is the prettiest girl in her class.
The biggest animal is whale.
ARTICLE ‘the’
27
https://t.me/sirplz

•We can’t use any articles before a specific
name of a person, diseases, meals, sports,
cities and some countries.
Example:
1) I saw Zaraat the playground.
2) My uncle is studying in Australia.
3) He had finished his breakfast.
4) Hakim likes to play football.
5) Ammarcelebrated HariRaya with his
family and relatives.
6) Elena bought herself Cadbury.

that are countable and uncountable.

I need some lights here.
I need a light.
3) The children make some noise.

Quantifiers are used to
describe the quantity
of nouns. The words
‘many’, ‘some’, ‘several’,
‘a lot of’, ‘a little’, etc.
are quantifiers.
https://t.me/sirplz

•For countable noun, we can use the words like
many, a few, several, and more to express
quantity.
Example: There are many birds on the tree.
•For uncountable noun, we can use the words
like a little, much, and less to express quantity.
Example:
There isn’t much sugar left in the jar.
•For both, countable and uncountable nouns, we
can use words like some, a lot of, plenty, etc.
to express quantity.
Example:
Zara buys herself some chocolates.
