  • Hi there.

  • This is Harry.

  • Welcome back to advanced English lessons with Harry, where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the english language, to help you with your conversational skills, your business English skills, interview skills, whatever your goals are, we're here to help.

  • And for those of you and your friends or family who want one to one lessons, well, you know what to do.

  • Just get in touch www.englishlessonviaskype.com and you can apply for a free trial lesson.

  • And we'd be very happy to hear from you and very happy to help you.

  • And in this advanced English lesson, we're actually looking at articles.

  • The articles a or a.

  • An and the, and this is as a direct result of requests from some of you, the students and the viewers.

  • Now, just a little warning here.

  • I'm not going into every little detail about articles because it would make the lesson far too long.

  • I'm going to cover the key points where students do have regular problems.

  • So I'll cover those in a lot of detail.

  • And if you want more information about articles, well, then I would recommend a very good grammar book.

  • One of the grammar books that I use with students is Murphy's grammar book, and it's really, really good.

  • But what I'd also say is that I'm actually going to be launching a new grammar course, and it's an all inclusive grammar course, and that will be coming out very shortly.

  • And of course, you'll be able to purchase and access that as well, which will cover things like articles and many, many other aspects.

  • Okay, so as you know, there are three articles, two indefinite and one definite.

  • The indefinite articles are a, or a and an.

  • And we use an when it is in front of a vowel or a vowel sound like an apple, an orange.
