Now that you have learned what indefinite and definite articles are, it's time to learn how to choose which one we use!
Using Indefinite Articles
We use indefinite articles like 'a' and 'an' to introduce nouns. That means we are talking about something we haven't mentioned yet.
- Have you seen a red car parked on this street?
- I have a piano at my house.
- Sheila made a bad mistake.
Remember, we can also use 'some' or no article to do the same thing with plural nouns and noncount nouns.
- I have seen some raccoons in this neighbourhood.
- They have some pianos in the store.
- Sheila spilled some water on her computer.
