Explicații:

Observaţii privind articolul nehotărât (a, an) şi substantivele cu "zero article" (unde nu se pune articol deloc):

1. articolul nehotărât („a”, „an”) indică faptul că un substantiv se referă la o idee generală, fără a o identifica cu precizie;

• „a” se pune atunci când unrmează un cuvânt care începe cu o consoană (a cat, a dog, a poor child)
• „an” se pune înaintea unui cuvânt care începe cu o vocală (an elephant, an e-mail, an intresting book)

2. articolul hotărât „the”- se folosește înaintea unui substantiv atunci când considerăm că interlocutorul știe exact la ce ne referim (Who is the president of USA?)

3. "zero article" (omiterea articolului) - înaintea formelor de plural atunci când apare o generalizare amplă care se aplică unui grup întreg de fiinţe sau obiecte.
