Articles: Exercises for Beginner Students
(Remember, if no article is needed, then select the blank option).
- My mother is English teacher. I am student. When I get home from school, I watch programs on TV. That's best part of my day. I watch are for children. I am child, so I think they are funny.
- I'm little excited because it's Friday. There are lot of good shows on TV today. I usually watch is at 3:30. It's about animals. Also, I'm excited today because my mother is making rice for dinner.
- Later, after eating dinner and doing my homework, I go to my room and read book for 30 minutes. Then I turn off light and go to bed.
Articles: Exercises for Intermediate Students
- Moving to United States was most exciting thing I have ever done. I moved last year to New York. New York is exciting city, full of adventure. In fact, I saw famous actor on street yesterday!
- Today, I have job interview at financial company. has offices all over world. I'm not sure that I have skills to get hired. I hope so. 's office is on Main Street. That's same street my friend works on.
- If I get hired, I could meet him after work for drinks. That would be great. He's from Scotland. He works 8 hours day, 5 days week.
Articles: More Exercises for Intermediate Students
- I have two brothers. One, Greg, is still in college, and other, Mike, has already graduated. Mike is kind of guy that is very serious. I don't remember last time I saw him. It may have been in August. He was wearing red sweater. It matched his red hair.
- After dinner, I usually wash dishes. My wife hates doing it. I waste a lot of water when I do it. That's bad for environment, I think.
- We live near sea. houses in this area are expensive.
Articles: Exercises for Advanced Students
- I have uncle who lives in home for elderly. He is honest man. He used to be FBI agent. He once saved one-year-old boy from fire. He has many interesting stories.
- He told me that he once met alien from space. This alien didn't need oxygen to live; it didn't have nose. That's hard story to believe. I'm not sure he was telling me truth. Maybe he isn't so honest, after all.
- can make life unpleasant. In day, I work at office. people I work with are busy, and work we do isn't easy.
Articles: More Exercises for Advanced Students
- When I drive to work, usually highways are really busy. If there's accident during rush hour, it can be chaos on the roads.
- I don't watch TV. I get information and news, etc., from Internet. I don't often go to cinema, either.
- I'm interested in finance. I heard Euro is losing value, compared to US dollar.
- I like Japan. is infrequent there. When I fly to Japan, I usually fly to Narita Airport. The last time I was in Japan, I climbed Mount Fuji. It was fun.
- I am tall. are generally shorter than I am.

Its very simple if we take care of the rules very carefully .
Tks a lot. Its really helpful. I really appreciate the effort to make different sections according to the level of different people. Waiting 4 more.
I just can’t get it. Why we write “New York is an exciting city” not “New York is the exciting city”? please explain it to me, thank you!
Henry: There are many exciting cities in the world. When you write ‘NY is an exciting city’, it means it is one (an = one) exciting city among the many other exciting cities in the world. ‘NY is the exciting city’ uses the definite article ‘the’, which means that there is ONLY one exciting city, New York. If you want to use ‘the’, then you could say ‘New York is the home of the Statue of Liberty’. We use ‘the’ here because there is ONLY one city that has the statue of liberty. The city is New York.
I’m not sure I understand. Can you explain again?
Its very good but explanation should be given at the end
best way to improve grammar….
thanks a lot

I am a teacher of English from Pakistan. During my teaching career , as a teacher of English, so far, teaching an article has proved to be the trickiest and the toughest of the all. i have seen this for the first time and that too accidently. I hope that these exercises and work sheets can be further enhanced and ameliorated if some of the rules regarding “Use of Article” are added. by and large, it is a fantastic work and very useful to those who really tend to learn.
Hello jamshaid. I’m glad to hear that you find the resource useful. If you’d like to see some of the rules, please visit this page: https://www.englishcurrent.com/grammar/english-articles-definite-indefinite-help/ .
