2. Вставьте артикль, где необходимо. I . This is . pencil. . pencil is red. I*. I huve . ball. . ball...

В английском языке артикли играют важную роль, помогая уточнять значения существительных. Существует два типа артиклей: определённый артикль "the" и неопределённый артикль "a" или "an". Определённый артикль используется, когда речь идёт о конкретном предмете, известном как говорящему, так и слушающему. Неопределённый артикль используется, когда речь идёт о предмете, упоминаемом впервые или не являющемся конкретным. Теперь давайте вставим артикли в предложениях.

Объяснение

1. "a" и "an" используются перед исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе, когда предмет упоминается впервые.
2. "the" используется, когда речь идёт о конкретном предмете, который уже был упомянут ранее или очевиден из контекста.
3. Артикли не требуются перед неисчисляемыми существительными и существительными во множественном числе, если речь идёт о них в общем смысле.

Теперь вы поняли, когда и как использовать артикли "a", "an" и "the" в английском языке.
