The general rule is that we use a before a consonant and an before a vowel: a bowl, a car,a dog, but an ant, an elephant, an insect, an orange, an urn But, what is important here is not the way a word is written, but the way it sounds We choose a or an depending on the sound at the beginning of the word and whether it is a vowel sound or a consonant sound For example, take the word uniform Although it begins with a vowel - u - when we write it, when we say it the first sound is /y/ which is a consonant: uniform is pronounced ‘/junɪfɔːm/ so we say a uniform One word which is often confused is hotel Some people pronounce this word as /həʊˈtɛl/ so they would write: a hotel But other people pronounce this word as /əʊˈtɛl/ and so they would write: an hotel o The Zero Article does not exist It is a useful term to use when describing how to use articles Essentially when we talk about the zero article, we mean that we don’t use any article in front of a noun For example, when we use a noun with a preposition, we often not use an article (that is, we just use the noun on its own): I went to school but left my books at home Mother was in church and father at sea; Grandfather came to dinner later by train and Grandmother managed to escape from prison to join us When we talk about an institution, we use the zero article – The definite article doesn't change It is always the whether the noun is masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural We use the definite article - the - when we talk about a singular or plural noun which refers to a particular member of a a group The woman.The man.The door.The doors Prior Reference We often use the after the noun has already been mentioned For example: An Englishman, an Irishman and a Sctosman walk into a pub The Englishman ordered a bitter; the Irishman ordered a Guiness and the Scotsman ordered a whisky The first time we mention the noun we use the indefinite article and from then on we use the definite article Known Reference If both speakers know what they are talking about they can use the even though the noun may not have been mentioned before In other words, it is implied that the noun has already been mentioned Excuse me, you know what the time is? Where's the toilet? In these examples, the speaker assumes that the listener knows what is being talked about Miscellanous In addition, the is used in the following special circumstances Exceptions include: the Hague; the Matterhorn; the Mall; the White House, the United States of America We use the definite article - the - when we talk about a singular or plural noun which refers to a particular member of a a group In this example the group is all men; we want to reference a particular man so we say: The man in the hat Compare this with the indefinite article which refers to any man in the group: A man in a hat parts of day/night days festivals seasons & months midnight, midday, noon, night Monday, Tuesday Easter Winter, February superlatives ordinals oceans, seas years 1961, 1995, 2000 inventions buildings Buckingham Palace, number 10 titles streets Acacia Avenue, Pall Mall, Sunset Boulevard rivers & canals airports Heathrow, Gatwick public buildings cities & towns mountains London, New York, Tokyo, Sydney, Cairo Everest, K2, Mont Blanc newspapers families 10 the highest, the biggest, the oldest the third man, the sixth wife the Pacific, the Black Sea the wheel, the internal combustion engine the Queen, the President, the chairperson the Thames, the Nile, the Suez the Sheraton, the Red Lion, the Natural History Museum The Independent, The Daily Mirror, The Times the Browns, the Bushes 127. A held          B asked          C kept          D captured 128. A turn off          B break into          C get into          D come up with 129. A on the verge of         B with exception of         C in answer to          D in return for 130. A anything          B everybody          C nothing          D somebody 131. A able          B capable          C possible          D enabled 132. A scattering          B dumping          C distributing          D loading 133. A thinking         B discovering         C devising         D manufacturing 134. A of all         B in all         C even         D whatsoever 135. A forget          B notice          C bother          D mention 136. A about         B out         C off         D away 137. A read          B is read          C was reading          D had been read 138. A offers          B reaches          C obtains          D wins 115 139. A now and then         B now and again         C sooner or later         D safe and sound 140. A none          B not any          C neither          D hardly G Read the following passages and choose the best answer to the questions: KETCHUP The sauce that is today called ketchup ( or catsup) in Western cultures is a tomato_based sauce that is quite distinct from Eastern ancestors of this product A sauce called ke-tjap was in used in China at least as early as the 17th century, but the Chinese version of the sauce was made of picked fish, shellfish, and spices The popularity of this Chinese sauce spread to Singapore and Malaysia, where it was called kechap The Indonesian ketjab derives its name from the same source of the Malysian sauce but is made from very different ingredients The Indonesian ketjab is made by cooking black soy beans, fermenting them, placing them in a salt brine for at least a week , cooking the resulting solution further, and sweetening it heavily; this process results in a dark, thick and sweet variation of soy sauce Early in the 18th century, sailors from the Bristish navy came across this exotic sauce on voyages to Malaysia and Singapore and brought samples of it back to England on return voyages English chefs tried to recreate the sauce but were unable to exactly because key ingredients were unknown or unavailable in England; chefs ended up substituting ingredients such as mushrooms and walnuts in an attempt to recreate the special taste of the original Asian sauce Variations of this sauce became quite the rage in the 18th century England, appearing in a number of recipe books and features as an exotic addition to menus from the period The English version did not contain tomatoes, and it was not until the end of the 18th century that tomatoes became a main ingredients in the ketchup of the United States It is quite notable that tomatoes were added to the sauce and that tomatoes had previously been considered quite dangerous to health That tomato had been cultivated by the Aztecs, who had called it tomalt; however, early botanists had recognized that tomato was a member of the Solanecaea family, wich does include a number of poisonous plant The leaves of the tomato plant are poisonous, though of course the fruit is not Thomas Jefferson, who cultivated the tomato in his gardens at Monticello and served dishes containing tomatoes at lavish feasts, often receive credit for changing the reputation of the tomato Soon after Jefferso had introduced the tomato to American society, recipes combining the new fashinonabe tomato with the equally fashionable and exotic sauce known as ketchap began to appear By the middle of the 19th century, both of the tomato and tomato ketchup were stables of the American kitchen Tomato ketchup,popular though it was,was quite time-consuming to prepare In 1876,the first mass-produced tomato ketchup, a product of German-American Henry Heizn,went on sale and achieved immediate success From tomato ketchup, Heizn branched out into a number of other products, including various sauces, pickles, and relishes 141. It is not stated in paragraph that A. the Chinese sauce was in existence in the 17th century B. the Malaysian sauce was similar to the Chinese sauce C. the Chinese sauce was made from seafood and species D. the Indonesian sauce was similar to the Chinese sauce 142. “it” in paragraph refers to A. a salt brine B. a week C. the resulting solution D. this process 143. What ingredient is not used to make Indonesian sauce?
