Determiners and articles
English · Grammar & Punctuation · conceptual
Use determiners (articles a/an/the and demonstratives this/that/these/those) correctly before nouns
What mastery looks like
- Use 'a' before consonant sounds and 'an' before vowel sounds correctly: 'a ball', 'an apple'
- Distinguish 'this/these' (near) from 'that/those' (far) when pointing to objects
- Select the correct article (a/an/the) to complete a sentence
Check your understanding
When Determiners and articles writes about something nearby versus something far away, do they use the right word — saying "this book" for one in their hand and "that book" for one across the room?
