An introduction of overview of English articles: a, an, the, and the zero article.
Level: Intermediate to advanced.
This is a lesson in TWO PARTS. Part 2 summarizes the basic rules for using English articles and offers practice.
NOTE: I'm very sorry to announce as of January 2012 links to EnglishCafe will no longer be active due to the site closing. I was very lucky to be a part of that online community while it lasted. I'm also sorry for the loss of additional materials for learners.
