АРТИКЛЬ

Перед каждым нарицательным существительным должен стоять артикль. Артикль употребляется, если перед существительным стоит притяжательное или указательное местоимение, другое существительное в притяжательном падеже, количественное числительное или отрицание no (не not).

Неопределенный артикль a (an – перед гласными a, e, i, o, u, y) может употребляться только с исчисляемыми существительными, стоящими в единственном числе. Перед неисчисляемыми существительными или существительными во множественном числе неопределенный артикль опускается.

Определенный артикль ставится если:

- упомянутый предмет является единственным в мире The sun is shining brightly.
