В английском языке два артикля: определённый (the) и неопределённый (a, an). Артикль – служебное слово, являющееся определителем существительного.

Неопределённый артикль (a, an) употребляется только в единственном числе, когда лицо или предмет не знакомы или употребляются впервые. Имеет значение: один из многих, какой-то, любой.

Определённый артикль (the) употребляется как в единственном, так и во множественном числе а также с неисчисляемыми существительными, когда лицо или предмет знакомы или известны говорящиму, и слушающему.

E.g. Her sister has got a nice house. (Собеседник впервые слышит о доме её сестры). The house faces my office. (Он уже знает, о каком доме идёт речь, т. е. о ранее упомянутом доме её сестры).

Артикли всегда относятся к существительным, поэтому при отсутствии существительного артикль употребляться не может. Артикль не используется, если перед существительным употребляется притяжательное местоимение, указательное местоимение, существительное в притяжательном падеже или местоименное наречие (some, any, a few, many, much, etc.). Eg. our garden, this man, much energy.

Определенный артикль употребляется, если перед существительным стоит

а) порядковое числительное: the first day;

б) прилагательное в превосходной степени: the best friend;

в) слова: wrong, right, same, only: the wrong size

Определенный артикль употребляется, если существительное обозначает уникальную вещь, единственную в своем роде: the moon, the sun.

1) Have you got … camera?

2) Would you like to be … actor?

5) What … beautiful garden!

6) … birds cannot fly.

5) … Soviet Union is … first country to send … man into space.

6) … longest river in Great Britain is … Severn.

7) When do you have … dinner?

Притяжательные местоимения выражают принадлежность и отвечают на вопрос чей? чья? чьё? чьи?

Притяжательные местоимения имеют две формы:

1) простую (или зависимую, т. е. после неё следует существительное, возможно с прилагательным)

E.g. My book; my new book.

2) независимую (употребляется самостоятельно, подразумевая ранее упомянутое существительное)

E.g. I have no pen. Give me yours, please.
