WARM UP

GRAMMAR

         

THE 

  The definite article the is the most frequent word in English.

  The definite article "THE" is the same for all genders in singular and in plural. Examples:     the boy, the girl, the cat.

  We use the definite article in the following situations:

• Because there is only one:

The Pope is visiting Cuba.
The moon is very bright tonight.

 * With a superlative adjective:

He is the tallest boy in the class.
It is the oldest building in the town.

• Because there is only one in that place or in those surroundings:

  We live in a town next to the Magdalena River.

 We also use THE when it is clear in the situation which thing or person we mean. For    example in a room we talk about "the light" / "the floor" / "the ceiling"

 The definite article with names:

 We do not normally use the definite article with names:

William Shakespeare wrote Hamlet.
Paris is the capital of France.
Iran is in Asia.

 But we do use the definite article with:

• countries whose names include words like kingdom, states or republic:

the United Kingdom; the Kingdom of Nepal; the United States; the People’s Republic of China.

• countries which have plural nouns as their names:

the Netherlands; the Philippines

• geographical features, such as mountain ranges, groups of islands, rivers, seas, oceans and canals:

the Himalayas; the Canaries; the Atlantic; the Atlantic Ocean; the Amazon; the Panama Canal.

• newspapers:

The Times; The Washington Post

• well known buildings or works of art:

the Empire State Building; the Taj Mahal; the Mona Lisa; the Sunflowers
