An article is a special type of adjective. ”A“, ”an“ and ”the“ are articles. In sentences, articles are always placed before a noun. A proper noun is a special type of noun. It is the name of something and always starts with a capital letter.ArticlesThere are two kinds of articles: indefinite and definite. ”A“ and ”an“ are indefinite articles. Definite. ”A“ and ”an“ are indefinite articles. Use indefinite articles when talking about something singular （one thing） in general. For example:I want an apple. （any apple）A cheetah is a kind of cat. （cheetahs in general）Note that you do not use articles in the expression ”kind of.“ You say ”a kind of cat,“ you do not say ”a kind of a cat.“Give the rule for using ”an“ instead of ”a. “”An“ is used for words that begin with vowels: A, E, I, O or U. It makes them easier to pronounce. For example:an animalan eraseran ideaan orangean umbrellaThe” is a definite article. Use definite articles for the following situations:1. When talking about something mentioned earlier. For example: He picked up a book and read the book.Note that the article “a” is used with the first mention of “book”, but the article “the” is used with the following mention of “book.”2. When talking about something that the listener knows. For example:Open the door please.In this case, you are not talking about any door.You are talking about a specific door. The listener knows which door you mean.3. When using with certain proper nouns. For example: The ship sailed on the Pacific Ocean.In this case, we say “the” Pacific Ocean, not “a” Pacific Ocean. Why?Because there is only one Pacific Ocean, although it is one of many oceans.4. When using with plurals of nouns. For example:A black cat is at the door.BUT, the black cats are at the door.Proper NounsProper nouns are names. Compare the following:Noun Proper Nouncountry Chinagirl Jennylanguage EnglishArticles can be used with any of the nouns listed: a country, the country, a girl, the girl and so on. Articles re used with only some proper nouns. Remember the above example using the Pacific Ocean?But we say “China, ”not the China. Why? Because China is unique. The Pacific Ocean is one of many oceans, so we specify the ocean we mean. But there is only one China, so we dont need to specify or use the word “the.”“Note that we say the United States or the US. And the United Kingdom or the U.K. Why? For the same reason: there are many states in the world （” states“ can mean ”country“, so we specify which one we mean: the United States. And the world has many kingdoms, so we specify which one we mean: the United Kingdom.VerbsReview the verbs for this lesson. Note that ”know“ is an irregular verb. It is the only verb to review for this lesson, so if you have time, you may wish to review other irregular verbs as well. Please read about teaching verbs in ”Teaching Techniques“ at the back of this guide.ACTIVITY BOOK （5 MINUTES）Play the audiotape. The aural exercises for this lesson are:1. Listen to the audiotape.
