Ричард Грант
Англійська мова. Теорія і практика. Артикль

Перед кожним загальним іменником повинен стояти артикль.

Артикль не вживається, якщо перед іменником стоїть:

– присвійний займенник my, your, his, her, its, our, their, mine, yours, hers, ours, theirs

My (немає артикля) friend is very good. – Мiй друг дуже хороший.

– вказівний займенник this, these, that, those, it, such, the same

That (немає артикля) boy is her brother. – Той хлопчик – її брат.

– іншій іменник в присвійному відмінку

Her brother’s (немає артикля) name is Nick. – Iм’я її брата – Нiк.

– кількісний числівник

They have got two (немає артикля) children. – У них двоє дiтей.

– заперечення no (не not!)

I have no (немає артикля) pet. – У менe не має домашньої тварини.

I am not a doctor. – Я не лiкар.

Згадуючи предмет вперше, ми вживаємо перед ним неозначений артикль a (an), який може вживатися тільки з обчислювальними іменниками, що стоять в однині. Перед необчислювальними іменниками або іменниками в множині неозначений артикль опускається.

Артикль a ставиться перед іменниками, які починаються з голосного звуку, артикль an ставиться перед іменниками, які починаються з приголосного звука.

Нижче наведені необчислювальні іменники, поділені на кілька смислових груп:

їжа: meat, salt, bread, chocolate, soup;

рідини: tea, coffee, lemonade, petrol, oil, shampoo;

матеріали і речовини: gold, wood, sand, paper, coal;

абстрактні поняття: happiness, love, friendship, beauty;

предмети вивчення і мови: chemistry, literature, Spanish;

хвороби: flu, mumps, measles;

інше: money, furniture, weather.

Згадуючи цей же предмет вдруге, ми ставимо перед ним означений артикль the, який вживається як з обчислювальними, так і з необчислювальними іменниками, як в однині, так і в множині.

This is a book. The book is interesting. (book – обчислювальний іменник в однині)

This is (немає артикля) meat. The meat is fresh. (meat – необчислювальний іменник)

These are (немає артикля) books. The books are good. (books – обчислювальний іменник в множинi)
