Article

We use the with superlative adjectives: Everest is the highest mountain in the world.I have three sisters: Jan is the oldest and Angela is the youngest.

superlatives

We use comparative adjectives to show change or make comparisons:This car is certainly better, but it's much more expensive. I'm feeling happier now. We need a bigger garden.

Comparatives

This shows how much or how many of something Can used with plural countable nouns or uncountable nouns. This is used to talk about things or two people.

Quantifiers

Example:

  • An Article (a/an, the)
  • A Demonstrative (this, that, these, those)
  • A Possessive (my, your, his, her, its, our, their)
  • A Quantifier (common examples include many, much, more, most, some)

Indefinite Article

  • Before nouns when they are one several, when it is not important which one is meant, or when something is mentioned for the first time.
  • Indicates that a noun refers to a general idea rather than a particular thing.
  • To say what people or thing are/were.
  • A and An.
Example: Please hand me a pencil; any pencil will do. My brother really wants a videogame for Christmas. When I was at the zoo, I saw an elephant. Definite Article
  • The definite article is the word the. It limits the meaning of a noun to one particular thing.
  • Before nouns when it is thought to be clear which thing or things is / are meant.
  • Before superlative adjectives.
  • As part of some fixed expressions.
Example: Please give me the book. The dog that bit me ran away. No Article
  • Before uncountable nouns.
  • With plural nouns to talk about things in general.
  • After prepositions in many expressions with places.
  • Before the names of most cities, countries, continents, street names, airports, or stations.

Examples: • Martha is the eldest of the four sisters. • I am the shortest person in my family. • She is the smartest girl in our class. • My house is the largest one in our neighborhood. • You play tennis better than I do.

Examples:

  • The balloon got bigger and bigger.Everything is getting more and more expensive.
  • He is a better player than Ronaldo.

  • If the quantifiers are used with pronouns, must be added after the quantifier
  • Can used “each” to focus on individual things in a group or to list two or more thing.
  • Used “every” you can talk about a group or to list three or more thing.
  • “Any” this is used in positive sentences when it is not important to specify the exact person or thing.
  • “neither” is followed by singular countable nouns. To talk about two choices or possibilities. Because neither is a negative, so not used with “no” or “not”.

  • We have enough food in the refrigerator.
  • I saw few people in the class.
