Hey everyone!⭐ ⭐ Did you know what I've learnt in my 5+ years of teaching English to East Asian students? Well, no matter what level - beginner or advanced, articles seem to be a really tricky thing for my students! Basic guidelines I give my students are: 1. When talking about a topic in general, you usually omit articles and use the plural. 2. When referring to something specific, you use 'the.' 3. If you’re talking about something non-specific that’s part of a larger group, you use 'a' or 'an'. For example: -⭐ I love playful dogs. (omit articles because you are talking in general about dogs) ⭐ I love the playful dog. (use "the" when talking specifically about a dog that both you and the listener are familiar with) ⭐ I love a playful dog. (use "a/an" when saying you love one dog but you are not specifially identifying which one) Let's practice!
