Article. Explanations. Basic uses of articles –see G2 p.138 Definite Article • Classes This is one way to refer to classes, and is perhaps more formal than using a plural: The tiger is threatened with extinction. Note: Nouns man, woman, child used in a generic sense (as a class) take no article! We can’t be sure about the history of the human race, but man developed earlier than we think. • National groups Groups as a whole: The French eat in restaurants more than the English. Single examples are not formed in the same way: A Frenchman/woman, an Englishman/woman. • Other groups If these are clearly plural: the Social Democrats, The Rolling Stones Note the difference: Pink Floyd, Queen (no article) • Unique objects the moon, the sun Note that there are other suns and moons in the universe. This planet has a small moon. • Titles These tend to be 'unique'. The director of studies If the title is post-modified (has a description coming after the noun), the is more likely, but not essential. Compare: She became President in 1998. She became (the) President of the United States in 1998. • Newspapers The may be part of the title, and so is capitalised. The Independent, The Sunday Times Note that titles of magazines normally take no article: Punch, Time However, there are many exceptions: The Economist, The New Yorker, so they must be learned. • Musical instruments Jane plays the flute. The guitar is my favourite instrument. It is, of course, still possible to use a where it would naturally be used. There was a small brown flute in the window of the shop. • Emphatic use This is heavily stressed and emphasises the following noun. This hotel is the place to stay. • Geographical names The following use the: Rivers: the Thames Mountain ranges: the Alps Oceans: the Mediterranean Unique features: the Channel, the Arctic Compass points/areas: the East, the Middle East Countries: collective or plural: The United Kingdom, The Netherlands This does not apply to: Mountain peaks: Everest (but The Matterhorn) Continents: Asia Countries: France The definite article is sometimes used before Lebanon and Gambia: The Lebanon The Gambia • Place names Post-modification, especially with ...of... plays a role in place names. Compare: Leeds University/The University of Leeds London Bridge/The Tower of London If the first part of a place-name is another name, then normal rules about zero article apply. Brown's Restaurant The Garden House Hotel The same applies in geographical names: Canvey Island The Isle of Man • Most and the most Mosthotels in England are very expensive, (making a generalisation) This is the most expensivehotel in town, (talking about a specific hotel) • Importance of context The definite article refers to already mentioned items, and so its use depends on context. The Smiths had a son and a daughter. The son was in the Army and the daughter was training to be a doctor. On the Saturday, there was a terrible storm. Here, the Saturday refers to a day in an area of time already mentioned. On the Saturday of that week ... Indefinite Article • Jobs Compare: Tony is a builder. Tony was the builder of that house. • In measuring Three times a week. Fifty kilometres an hour. £3.50 a kilo. £15,000 a year. Formally, per can replace a/an. • Unknown people Use of a/an emphasises that a person is unknown. A Mr Jones called while you were out. Zero Article • Names Compare: Matthew Smith is one of my favourite artists, (a person) A Matthew Smith hangs in their bedroom, (a painting) • Some unique organisations do not use the. Parliament, but The (House of) Commons • Streets Most streets do not use an article. Green Road Godwin Street Exceptions are: The High Street The Strand and street names without preceding adjectives.

Exercise 6. There are ten extra appearances of the in the following text. Underline them. The word processor and the calculator are without a shadow of doubt here to stay, and in the many respects our lives are the much richer for them. But the teachers and other academics are claiming that we are now starting to feel the first significant wave of their effects on a generation of the users. It seems nobody under the age of 20 can spell or add up any more. Even several professors at leading universities have commented on the detrimental effect the digital revolution has had on the most intelligent young minds in the country. The problem, evidently, lies with the automatic spellcheck now widely available on the word processing software. Professor John Silver of the Sydney University, Australia, said: 'Why should we bother to learn how to spell correctly, or for that matter to learn even the most basic of the mathematical sums, when at the press of a button we have our problem answered for us. The implications are enormous. Will the adults of the future look to the computer to make the decisions for them, to tell them who to marry or what the house to buy? Are we heading for a future individual incapable of the independent human thought?' Unit 4. Medicine. 1.1 Basic Vocabulary - see V1 p.140.

Please pay your attention to the following structure: The woman’s face will not exactly resemble her face before, but neither will it completely resemble that of the donor. (The World’s First Partial Face Transplant, lines 23-25). This is an example of inversion after negative adverbials. This only occurs when the adverbial occurs at the beginning of a clause. Negative adverbials include: • Time expressions: never, rarely, seldom These are most commonly used with present perfect or past perfect, or with modals such as can and could. Sentences of this type often contain comparatives. Seldom has the team given a worse performance. • Time expressions: hardly, barely, scarcely, no sooner These refer to an event which quickly follows another in the past. They are usually used with past perfect, although no sooner can be followed by past simple. Note the words used in the contrasting clause. Hardly had the train left the station, when there was an explosion. Scarcely had I entered the room when the phone rang. No sooner had I reached the door than I realised it was locked. • After only Here only combines with other time expressions and is usually used with past simple. Only after posting the letter did 1 remember that I had forgotten to put on a stamp. Other examples are only if/when, only then, only later. Note that when only refers to 'the state of being the only one', there is no inversion following it. Only Mary realised that the door was not locked. • Phrases containing no/not These include under no circumstances, on no account, at no time, in no way, on no condition, not until, not only ... (but also). On no condition are they to open fire without a warning. Not until I got home did I notice that I had the wrong umbrella. • Little Little also has a negative or restrictive meaning in this sense: Little does the government appreciate what the results will be.
