-Paris is the capital of France.
-Iran is in Asia. We do not normally use the definite article with names: Examples: -The wolf is not really a dangerous animal.
- The kangaroo is found only in Australia. We also use the definite article:
to say something about all the things referred to by a noun: Examples : The Pope is visiting Russia.
The moon is very bright tonight.
Who is the president of France? We use the definite article in front of a noun when we believe the listener/reader knows exactly what we are referring to: Examples: an hour, an honor Examples: an umpire, an unfinished project,
an unimportant detail. Before a word that begins with a silent h, an is used. When the vowel u is pronounced as
uh, it's considered a vowel. That is why it is still used with words and phrases. Examples: an apple, an idea, an air. An is normally used before a noun that begins with a vowel, such as: a, e, i. Examples: a horse, a home, a hat, etc. Examples: a university, a unit, a euro, a European Before a word that begins with an h that produces a scratchy sound, a is used. When the vowel U and the combination EU are pronounced as
you, they are considered a vowel. For example. Exceptions USE OF A, AN, THE THE a and an A: Usually used before a noun that begins with a consonant, such as: B, C, S and T.
