    Hi James, great video but...
    'The' is NOT only for singular objects.
    Examples:
    The dog. The dogs. The pen. The pens. The man. The men. Singular and plural.
    a & an are for singular objects.
    Also...
    a is followed by a consonant SOUND. an is followed by a vowel SOUND.
    an hour The h is a consonant but not a consonant sound. Hour starts with a vowel SOUND....the same as our. (Crazy English!)
    Thanks for THE video. It was A pleasure. THE pleasure was all mine. :)

    Hello, James!
    Thank you for all things stat you are doing! Your videos are really great, it helps me improve my English like an expensive private lessons. And it always pleasant to see how the quality of your videos ( production and so on) are improving.
    I guess that you are super busy, but I think that it is a good idea to reshoot some old essential videos ( like that, for example) to make your content little better ( if it is possible)
    kind regards! And thank you one more time for your work.

    Hi James, I am an native English speaker- but I love the lessons, because I realize how little I know of explaining English grammar. This topic is still challenging. We could say use an article when you can count something like: a dog (one dog, two dogs etc ) How about the word "weather" "The weather is nice today" That sounds right. but "one weather, two weathers " doesn't sound right. Or should we say "Weather is nice today" maybe, but never "A weather is nice today."

  • @PRO-qm5cl
    @PRO-qm5cl Před 2 lety

    Vid #3, ARTICLES
    - singular things
    A - one/any/ for general things / not everyone knows what you're talking about/ AN goes with VOWELS
    E.g.
    A cup, a cap, a cat, an elephant, an infant, a European, a university (you sound), the sun, the Earth, the lesson with James was cool
    THE - for specific things / the people you talk to know
