• These are the words a, an and the which usually comes before the nouns or adjectives.

1. Definite article - the

This refers to something specific or definite. The usually means ‘You know which ones(s) I’m
talking about’.

E.g.: i. Anne received the award for bravery. (a specific award)


ii. ‘Wait for me at the Kerinchi LRT station’. (a specific place)
iii. Can I use the phone? (the hearer knows that this means ‘your phone)

2. Indefinite article - a / an

This is non-specific or indefinite. A / an shows that we are talking about one person or thing.
We often use a / an:
• in descriptions
She’s an interesting person. He’s got a loud voice.
• when we say what something is, or what somebody’s job is.
This is a_return ticket. I’m an engineer.

3. Zero article - (-)

(-) No article is used before the names of countries, cities, streets, continents, lakes,
mountains, villages, etc.
He lives in (-) Toronto, a large city in (-) Canada on the shores of (-)
Lake Ohio.

(-) No article is also common before uncountable, plural and often abstract nouns when we
are talking about things in general.
Have we got any (-) milk?
(-) Oranges are nicer than (-) apples.

In general, an is used when the word following it begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u): an
umbrella, an elephant, an octopus, an idea, an apple.

BUT

- If the first letter of the word is a vowel, but sounds like a consonant, then use a: a used car, a
useful gadget.
- If the first letter of the word is a consonant, but sounds like a vowel, then use an: an hour, an
honest man, an MG sports car.

UNIT 12 VERB-TO-BE
• It consists of "am”, "is”, "are”, "was” and "were”.
• The base form is "be”; the progressive form is "being”; and the participle form is "been”.
• Functions :
o The verb "to be” has two main functions: as the main verb and as the helping verb.
o As a helping verb, it functions to indicate progressive tenses and passive
sentences.

1. Verb “to be” as main verb.

Depending on the subject and the tense, the verb "to be” changes its form into “am”, "is”,
"are”, "was” "were” or "been”.

Thus, we have:

1. I am a teacher.
2. He was our guest speaker last year.
3. He is good at English.
4. They are in the room now.

In this case, the verb "to be” functions as the main verb.

2. Verb “to be” as helping verb.

i. Verb “to be” indicates progressive tense (continuous tense). Thus we have:

1. He is learning English.

2. She is being childish now!


3. They are cooking for the party tonight.
4. She was sleeping when I dropped by yesterday.

We can use the Simple Past together with the Past Continuous

Eg: Yesterday, while Ali was walking to school, he saw a cat.
