• What Are Articles? • Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. Consider the following examples: • Example : After the long day, the cup of tea tasted particularly good. • By using the article the, we’ve shown that it was one specific day that was long and one specific cup of tea that tasted good. • Example : After a long day, a cup of tea tastes particularly good. • By using the article a, we’ve created a general statement, implying that any cup of tea would taste good after any long day. The Definite Article
• The Definite Article
• The definite article is the word the. It limits the meaning of a noun to one particular thing. For example, your friend might ask, “Are you going to the party this weekend?” The definite article tells you that your friend is referring to a specific party that both of you know about. The definite article can be used with singular, plural, or uncountable nouns. • Below are some examples of the definite article the used in context: • Please give me the hammer. • Please give me the red hammer; the blue one is too small. • Please give me the nail. • Please give me the large nail; it’s the only one strong enough to hold this painting. • Please give me the hammer and the nail. The Indefinite Article • The indefinite article takes two forms. It’s the word a when it precedes a word that begins with a consonant. It’s the word an when it precedes a word that begins with a vowel. The indefinite article indicates that a noun refers to a general idea rather than a particular thing. For example, you might ask your friend, “Should I bring a gift to the party?” Your friend will understand that you are not asking about a specific type of gift or a specific item. “I am going to bring an apple pie,” your friend tells you. Again, the indefinite article indicates that she is not talking about a specific apple pie. Your friend probably doesn’t even have any pie yet. The indefinite article only appears with singular nouns. • Consider the following examples of indefinite articles used in context: • Please hand me a book; any book will do. • Please hand me an autobiography; any autobiography will do. Artikel • Dalam tata bahasa inggris,artikel memiliki fungsi penting dalam menandai dan menjelaskan kata-kata benda.

It’s verry beautiful • The earth is a circle Syarat Definite article • Selain menandai kata-kata benda yang unik, artikel the juga digunakan untuk menjelaskan kembali kata-kata benda yang disebutkan sebelumnya dalam suatu teks • Contoh dalam kalimat: • He bought a very expensive car, the car was made from Italy • I like to bring eye glasses wherever I go, but the eye glasses was broken Syarat Definite article • Artikel “the” tidak pergunakan sebelum nama-nama orang, nama-nama jenis makanan, kata-kata sifat kepunyaan (possesive adjective) • Contoh dalam kalimat : My heart is sick, Pedro id a verry handsome man Indifinite article • Indifinite articles : kelompok artikel yang digunakan sebelum kata-kata benda tunggal (singular). Definite articles terdiri atas “a” dan “an”. • Ada dua bentuk dalam indefinite article, yaitu “a” dan “an”.
