Articles (a/the) style words
Whether you need ‘a/the’-type words, and how to get started.
Do articles exist here?
Yes — you’ll normally learn nouns together with their articles (where applicable).
Practical approach
If articles exist, learn them as part of the noun (like a prefix). If not, don’t try to force English ‘a/the’ into every sentence.
- When reviewing vocab, include the article in your ‘term’ if it’s standard.
- Practice with short noun phrases: (the) house, (a) ticket, (my) phone.
