Hello, and welcome to the next video.
2
Today, I'm going to teach you about a very difficult, confusing, fun, maybe, grammar point.
3
It's called articles.
4
Oh, really?
5
Yeah.
6
Articles are confusing.
7
There are many, many rules in English about articles.
8
I do not have the time the energy to teach you all of them
9
but I'll do my best okay
10
and what are articles first of all articles are a
11
and and the articles come before a noun a A noun is a person,
12
a place, or a thing.
13
So, I'm going to generalize here and say that before most nouns in English, you have to use an article.
14
Of course, there are millions of exceptions to what I've just said.
15
Sometimes we do not use an article with a noun.
16
That's a whole other lesson, a whole other time warp for your brain.
17
We're going to stick to these ones.
18
When to use a, an, and the before a noun in a proper English sentence.
19
We use these when we speak, when we write, and they're very important in grammar.
20
So there's no way to avoid these.
21
I'll help you.
22
Don't worry.
23
The first one is an.
24
An's easy.
25
It's the easiest.
26
We'll do this one first.
27
An is a singular noun.
28
is used in a singular noun, it's an article and we use it before the noun that starts with a vowel.
29
Now, the pronunciation of this word sounds like vowel.
30
The vowels in English, we have five vowels in English.
31
They are a e me, I,
32
O, and you.
33
Now, everyone who speaks Spanish,
34
Portuguese, Italian, any of our Latin American friends or Latin language speakers, you're going to mix up these two vowels, E and I.
35
Let me teach you one thing that will help you.
36
If you can remember that you have to dot your I, you're going to get the pronunciation of this word.
37
So this word, or this letter, sorry, when you write this letter, you always have to put a pink, a dot, in the middle of a word.
38
So you're going to remember that this I, you can make a nice little I here to help you. So I.
39
When you write this word by itself, you have to use a capital.
40
So this would only be in the middle of a word, but the pronunciation is the same, I.
41
So, if you have a vowel, A -E -I -O -U,
42
that begins the noun, you have to use an. For example, I.
43
Yay!
44
We have to say an I, Because the word I begins with a vowel.
45
If the word begins with this word, with this letter I, for example, ice cream!
46
Yay!
47
We have to say, I'd like an ice cream.
48
Do you like ice cream?
49
Or, if the word begins with a vowel sound.
50
What is a vowel sound, Ronnie?
51
A vowel sound is usually always the letter H.
52
For example the word
53
Hour we do not even say the H word it sounds like we're saying hour
54
So because this word hour sounds like a vowel because the H is silent.
55
We have to say an hour Okay, you got it you're with me an hour so
56
an We used before a vowel or before a vowel sound usually a noun that begins with an H
57
The next one is A.
58
The very first letter of our alphabet.
59
A is a vowel.
60
Don't let that confuse you.
61
A we use for, again, a singular noun.
62
All of these are going to be used with singular nouns.
63
If the noun is plural, if the noun has an S, do not use an article.
64
So, a, we use for a singular noun in a general form.
65
You can think of this easier as replacing it with the word any.
66
So, if you go to a coffee shop and they have five muffins and they're all the same muffin,
67
you're going to say to the person that works at the coffee shop, Hello, I'd like a muffin.
68
You do not get to choose or pick what muffin you get.
69
You can choose the flavor, but you cannot specifically choose which muffin you would like.
70
It's the same as saying any.
71
It's like saying, I'd like any muffin.
72
Just give me a muffin.
73
I want a muffin.
74
I'd like anything.
75
Just give me something.
76
Okay?
77
It's used for when you don't care which one it is.
78
You just want one of something.
79
A. If my nose was stuffy and I had to blow my nose, I would ask someone, do you have a Kleenex?
80
I don't have to go through the box of Kleenexes.
81
No, I don't want that one.
82
Yes, this, no, you're just going to get a Kleenex and you're going to blow your nose, okay?
83
So, a and an, the only difference is an you use before a vowel.
84
As an example, you can say, I'd like a cookie.
85
I was gonna write coffee.
86
Maybe I want a coffee right now, but I would definitely rather have a cookie.
87
I don't care which cookie you give me.
88
Just give me a cookie.
89
I'm a cookie monster.
90
Okay, so I'd like a cookie.
91
I'd like any cookie.
92
The next is the.
93
The next is the.
94
The is opposite to a.
95
The means something very, very, very specific.
96
General and specific are opposites.
97
This means you actually choose which one you are going to get.
98
Think about this when you go shopping.
99
You do not walk into a store and go, hi, could I have a shirt?
100
I don't care what it looks like I don't care how
101
much it is just give me a shirt this never happens ladies
102
when you go shopping for shoes you just don't go into the shoe store
103
and say just a pair of shoes please just a pair
104
of shoes don't care size 8 fine anything no we want
105
to go through all of the shoes we want to try them all on we want to get a handbag
106
and match them with our shoes and choose the shoes of our dreams
107
so you're gonna not say a pair of shoes you're gonna
108
say the shoes another very confusing thing about
109
the is the second time you talk about the same noun in a phrase.
110
You have to put the second noun with the.
111
For example, this is a little more difficult.
112
I bought some fruit.
113
Okay, fruit is an uncountable noun.
114
If the noun is uncountable, we do not use an article.
115
I bought some fruit.
116
The fruit was bad.
117
But Ronnie, you just said if it's an uncountable noun, we don't use an article.
118
What are you doing?
119
Have you lost your mind?
120
No. This is a grammar rule.
121
The first time I talk about the fruit, I use no article because it's uncountable.
122
But, the second time I'm talking about the same noun, I have to.
123
I don't know why.
124
I just have to.
125
It's a rule.
126
So I have to say the fruit.
127
The fruit was bad.
128
The third point when we use the article the, the article the, I'm using articles all the time,
129
is when the speaker and the listener or the reader, whatever, if you're reading or listening,
130
know, they both know which noun you are talking about.
131
For example, if you and your friend go to the same school, you have to say the school.
132
If I was talking to my friend on the phone and I said, hey, yeah, oh, I left my book at the school.
133
My friend and I both know what school I am talking about.
134
In my city, there are 2 .5 million schools.
135
There's a lot of schools in Toronto.
136
There are 2 .5 million people.
137
And a lot of people go to different schools.
138
But because my friend and I go to the same school, I have to say, the school.
139
I'm going to go to the school tomorrow.
140
You and I both know we're talking about the same one okay the next one is We use with countries,
141
but only one percent of the countries of the world So I ask you what country are you from I?
142
am from Canada We have listeners from all over the world.
143
I would guarantee
144
that 99 % of you would not use an article with your country name I come from Canada below Canada.
145
There's a country.
146
It's a big country called Anyone know below Canada geography time the United States of America or shorter the USA a
147
Lot of people their ancestors I am in Canada came from a country
148
or group of countries called the United Kingdom the United Kingdom
149
and There's a country in the Middle East called the United Arab Emirates.
150
Is anyone from there?
151
I went there once in an airplane.
152
It's cool.
153
The United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates.
154
All of these three countries,
155
we have to use the because there is the word united in the title of the country.
156
I do not say the Canada.
157
I do not say the Japan.
158
If the word has united in it, I say the.
159
The second one is if the country has more than two words in the name, you're going to say the.
160
For example, New Zealand.
161
New Zealand only has two words.
162
I do not say the New Zealand.
163
If it has more than two words, I have to put the in front of the country.
164
The last one is the most difficult.
165
If you were like me and did not do well in geography class, this one's hard.
166
We have to use the if the country is comprised of tiny or small islands.
167
I do not expect everyone in the world to know which countries are made of small islands, But to help you out,
168
off the top of my head, the Philippines.
169
If you look in a map, the Philippines has many tiny little islands that make one country.
170
Another example would be the West Indies, the Canary Islands.
171
These are all places that have small islands that form one country.
172
So if you look at Japan, for example, Japan has maybe five or more islands, but they're quite large
173
so we cannot use this as the Japan they have to be very small islands I hope you understand this
174
if you have a question please leave me a comment if you need more help with this please ask me bye

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
