Hey guys, welcome to my channel.
2
Today I'm going to teach you the most common mistake in English, which is articles.
3
And I forget them, I omit them, because I'm originally from Russia and in Russia we don't have articles.
4
It's easier for Germans because you guys have articles, Italians have articles.
5
By the way, let me know in comments below what language is your native language and whether you have articles or not.
6
Because if you do, it's easier for you.
7
But again, there are two articles a and the
8
and we use a we use it to talk about objects
9
that we encounter for the first time in our speech for the first time in this conversation
10
and we use the we mean something specific so let's start with the first rule something specific is always the for example
11
Marina where did you get the dress
12
that you wore yesterday this is a very specific dress I only have one dress
13
and I'm pretty sure she means the dress that I was wearing yesterday
14
and that was the specific white dress whatever
15
so this is a very specific thing but
16
if I'm asking somebody can you get me a dress
17
when you go shopping I'm not asking for a particular dress I just need a dress
18
and whatever dress you can find that suits me just get it
19
so could you get me a dress when you go shopping
20
so see the differences in the first example
21
when with specific dress i wore yesterday i meant the dress that i wore yesterday when i'm asking to buy
22
a random dress uh this is a dress another thing to remember we only use a uh
23
when we talk about single objects we cannot say a dresses this is wrong don't do
24
that but um if a word starts with the vowel, A, E, O, U, okay, you know vowels, right?
25
We replace A with N.
26
An apple, an eggplant, an elephant.
27
Another general rule is when you talk about something for the first time, you say A.
28
When you mention it in your conversation, for the second time, you use the.
29
For example, yesterday I went to a party.
30
I mentioned it for the first time, but in the second sentence, i would say the party was amazing because i've already stated
31
that i will be talking about a specific party
32
and in the second sentence i'm referring to that specific party
33
so it's the body now okay
34
or another example yesterday i bought an apple you know just a random apple
35
that apple turned out to be rotten
36
so i'm taking him back to the store today okay
37
so first i'm not mentioning a particular apple i just bought an apple doesn't matter
38
which apple doesn't matter if it's big doesn't matter
39
if it's small just an apple but then when i'm talking
40
that it's rotten i already mean that apple that it's in my fridge
41
so the apple okay however if we're talking about an object
42
that is one of a kind we always use the the moon the sun the black sea the simpsons
43
so we know that there is only one moon that's why we always say the moon we know
44
that there is one sun so say that sun again we only know
45
that there's just one family when we're talking about we know
46
that we're talking about the simpsons right this is the movie
47
so whenever it's something one of a kind
48
it's the uncountable nouns what are uncountable nouns porridge oatmeal milk uh whatever you cannot count
49
because when we're talking about porridge you cannot really count all the C's
50
that are there and
51
when we're talking about milk you cannot really count the cells yes you can measure volume
52
but that's different we're talking about counting
53
so uncountable nouns means you cannot count them right
54
so with uncountable nouns we don't use any articles it's always
55
I like oatmeal can you get me some oatmeal can you make some porridge for breakfast use some right
56
Can I have some milk?
57
I drank milk for breakfast.
58
The only way you would be able to count milk is by adding glasses.
59
So can you give me a glass of milk?
60
And then you have this A, okay?
61
But this A refers to glass, not to milk.
62
And the second scenario when we don't use an article with nouns is when we have plural countable nouns.
63
Bicycles, computers, cameras, bloggers.
64
So whenever these words appear in a sentence.
65
We do not use any articles.
66
I have three computers at home.
67
I like watching bloggers.
68
I love bicycles.
69
But why articles are so confusing?
70
Because there are always, always, always exclusions. For example, there is a store in your house and they sell specific milk
71
and you want to highlight that you like the milk from that store because it's one of a kind.
72
You really mean that milk
73
and you cannot get it anywhere else then you can say oh my god I love the milk from
74
that store because you're being specific and again I just mentioned
75
that with milk we don't use any the
76
but we don't use any the or a
77
when we don't mention specific milk we just mention milk as food
78
but if we mean some kind of milk
79
that it's only sold in a store that's uh one block away
80
or in your house say the same applies to countable nouns in plural forms
81
if that shop also sells apples
82
that you love you can say oh i love the apples from
83
that store they are the best in the world and people realize
84
that you mean specific apples that are only sold there
85
and they're one of a kind okay please remember that
86
and feel free whenever you're watching this video
87
if it's confusing feel free to stop feel free to open your exercise book rewind the video
88
and write everything down again because i know it's super confusing
89
and i know even like super advanced students make mistakes in articles
90
so this topic is very important it's crucial
91
but i'm here to help there's a quite similar rule for abstract nouns
92
and when you're talking about something in general you don't need an article for example
93
information on the internet is very useful
94
so information is this abstract noun you don't mean any specific information you just mean
95
that information that's available to everyone on the internet is very useful
96
but again just to compare um when you use particular information
97
that you received the information
98
that i read on wikipedia regarding youtube is super useful then you need to insert uh the definite article the
99
because you mean some specific information but when you're talking about information in general you don't use articles at all okay
100
never use articles with proper nouns tuesday monday new york uh
101
you can distinguish those proper nouns by the capital letter that they start with new york is with capital letters Washington DC,
102
Russia, London, Tuesday, Monday, Wednesday, February, March, all of those nouns do not require an article.
103
Okay never use articles with the names of the countries.
104
Demetri makes this mistake all the time and I keep correcting him.
105
Russia, France, Monaco, all of those countries do not require an article but of course there are exclusions to this rule.
106
If a country's name consists of several words the united kingdom
107
because the refers to kingdom here so the united kingdom the united states of america
108
so whenever the name consists of several nouns you use the also no articles
109
when you speak about languages
110
and remember at the beginning of this video i asked you to write a comment below what language you speak
111
and if you have articles in that language
112
so you can say i speak french
113
and there is no article i speak russian
114
and there are no articles in russian
115
so we don't have any article before the name of the language
116
and the last but not the least
117
when you're talking about meals don't use articles i've already had lunch today
118
i've already had breakfast let's head out to dinner
119
but again uh we're just talking about non -specific meals just you know stating
120
that we had meal but if you want to say
121
that you are sick from the dinner you had yesterday then you need definite article
122
because you uh mean that specific dinner we probably ate uh sushi
123
and you got food poisoning so uh
124
when you mean a specific dinner it would probably be something in the past uh you use the
125
that was it for me guys i hope it wasn't too confusing
126
i know it's like articles are super confusing feel free to re -watch the video feel free to save
127
it feel free to download it or whatever and re -watch it later
128
because you know you're gonna get back to this topic over
129
and over again because again there are so many exclusions to the rules
130
that i've given you uh there are so many specific situations um
131
and you just have to you know know about them
132

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
