ARTICLES
ENGL 125 - UNIT 12
Even high level students tend to make frequent mistakes with articles. Students are often unsure whether to use an indefinite article or definite article, or whether to use a definite article or no article.
Mesmo os estudantes de alto nível tendem a cometer erros freqüentes com artigos. Os alunos muitas vezes não têm certeza se devem usar um artigo indefinido ou um artigo definido, ou se devem usar um artigo definido ou nenhum artigo.
Here are some rules to clarify:
Aqui estão algumas regras para esclarecer:
- When we introduce a noun for the first time, we use the indefinite articles, a or an.
- If we have already referred to the noun, or if the noun is known, we use the definite article, the.
Example: It said on the news that a man had driven his car into a house. The man was treated for minor injuries, but the car was totally destroyed. No one in the house was harmed.
Rule 1: First letter - a hour/ an apple - more popular
Rule 2: First sound - an hour - more academic rule
Quando estamos nos referindo a um substantivo no plural ou incontável em geral, geralmente não usamos artigos.
- Coffee is a major export of Colombia.
- Dolphins are intelligent animals.
*shift - mudança
*don't have a resourve for the sound rule
* não tem um recurso para a regra de som
The above examples all refer to nouns in general. However, if we are writing or speaking about plural or uncountable nouns specifically, we use articles:
Todos os exemplos acima referem-se a substantivos em geral. No entanto, se estamos escrevendo ou falando sobre substantivos plurais ou incontáveis, usamos artigos:
ou seja quando usamos plurais e incontáveis porem especificos usamos o artigo THE
- Is the coffee from Starbucks fair trade?
O café é do comércio justo da Starbucks?
- The most popular animals at the aquarium are the dolphins.
- Os animais mais populares no aquário são os golfinhos.
This first one we're using the definite article that because we have a superlative.
Este primeiro estamos usando o artigo definido porque temos um superlativo.
Anytime you have a superlative like most use definite article the. The most popular animalS...
are the dolphinS - Here we use definite article the before dolphins. Notice it's a plural usually we wouldn't use the but here we are because it's contextually speficif. What do I mean by context, well, we have a specific location: the aquarium.
Este primeiro estamos usando o artigo definido porque temos um superlativo.
O primeiro exemplo é o motivo perfeito porque temos um superlativo.
Sempre que você tem um superlativo como a maioria, use o artigo definido. O animal mais popular ...
são os golfinhos - aqui nós usamos o artigo definido antes dos golfinhos. Note que é um plural que normalmente não usamos, mas aqui estamos porque é contextualmente específico. O que quero dizer com contexto, bem, nós temos uma localização específica: o aquário.
- The meal was fine, but the tomatoes in the salad were a little overripe.
