Anglo-Link Many of you have been surprised that it is 'a university' and 'thuh university'. As this word begins with the letter 'u', you expect it to be 'an university' and 'thee university'. Remember this important point: It is not the spelling that you should consider but the sound: 'university' begins with the sound /j/ as if there was a 'y' first: 'yuniversity'. /j/ is not a vowel sound.
I just wonderig why some viewers dislike the content even it is beautiful and clear? are they more knowlegable than everyone. I want to undestand. well done Anglo link, I liked the lesson.
Your explanations and examples are very clear. Very important when introducing new grammar to students. As we all know, building the basic building blocks are essential to learn accurately and quickly.
I've been an English teacher for 12 years. I wanted to use this video to complement what I had just taught my girlfriend (the use of a\an). I recommend that you start the video right away with examples and images illustrating the use of the articles. I would avoid such a long grammar explanation in the beginning since a student of that level will understand nothing about it. I'd also use less text and rather use more images. I hope you give it a thought for your next videos. Think of more eliciting than explaining. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your suggestions. However, I have to disagree with you. While some people may not enjoy grammar explanations, in my 35 years of teaching experience, I have taught thousands of students who like and benefit from them. My teaching method is to explain clearly first with good examples, and then to give plenty of practice opportunities with new examples. I'm sure your teaching method is also efficient and suitable for people with a different learning style.
This is a great help to someone who is trying to get the foundational understanding of English grammar cemented to help teach others. Just one question I had would it be a or the nurse in the context of that one came by to see you and you're relaying that information to someone?
Your accent is a British accent which is different in Americans accent. Although there are many differences between American English and British English, I have learned from you a lot. Thank you so much and keep it up.
Hi there, Minoo , I really enjoyed your teaching and learning styles. Frankly speaking , I got to know so many things from your TH-cam channel. Thanks indeed for such super productive materials and lessons that you upload on Internet which is also free of charges. May God bless you for as long as you are alive. Ameen.
Are abstract nouns considered uncountable nouns? Do we need articles when we use them? Ex: She has a strong determination or strong determination? Thanks!
They're uncountable. You may occasionally see the indefinite article when there's an adjective before them, but that would, strictly speaking, be a mistake.
@@AngloLinkEnglish If they're uncountable nouns then we don't need indefinite articles, do we? Why do we need an article for this sentence? Don't tell a lie. I'm really so confused.
Dear Minoo, First of all thank you very much for the useful videos you make for us - English learners. May ask one thing? I really would like to see a video lesson about how and when to use "as" and "of". I think these 2 are one of the critical conjunctions to build sentences. Please! Thank you,
***** You're welcome! I'm glad my lessons have been helpful to you. I've made a note of your request. Relative pronouns and conjunctions are the next lessons I will be working on.
Anglo-Link Minoo madam ,, do you have video for english beginer ? my english is so bad so i want to fix it from beginer lesson ,, i hope you re send my comment :)
Thank you for the great explanation. A is sometimes pronounced as "ei", so the last sound is a consonant sound. In this case, Is it possible to use it before vowel sound nouns? Like in: -Mark watched a "ei" action film yesterday. - She is a "ei" active girl.
I have a question. When you say .. you can view the deductions or you can view deductions? Also , you can view details such as or you can view the details such as..
It depends whether you're speaking in general or for a specific case: You can usually view deductions in ANY payslip. / You can view THE deductions in YOUR payslip.

the government: one specific government: the UK government the governments: two or more specific governments: The UK and the French governments governments: general idea of governments: Governments should take more responsibility in this are.
It has nothing to do with where (start, middle, end of a paragraph). If you're talking about specific governments, yes. If you're talking about any government / governments in general, then no.

Pretty useful video. Everyone, learning english is usually confused about these articles. I would also suggest to watch a lot of videos in english, movies and tv shows, that will help you to know where to put those articles on your subconscious level without actually knowing rules.
Hi Minoo, Would you please advise me on the sentences below? 1.Mum: Don't forget to take your lunchbox to school or to the school? 2.Son: Can I take the toy car to school or to the school? 3. Mum: Son, hurry up, you're going to be late. I'm going to send you to school or the school once you're finished with your breakfast.
Minoo Madam, Your lessons are perfect as always..But,I've some doubts in the following two things.Could you please help me?. (1.) You have pointed out that,before all consonant sounds,pronunciation of "the" is 'thuh'(eg. the university("thuh university")); but at the same time you also noted that,when the next word begins with a vowel sound,"the" pronunce as "thee"(eg. the umbrella("thee umbrella")).My question is that,in both examples,that is "the university" and "the umbrella",next word after "the" is starting with the same alphabet "u",but you had spoke it separately as "thuh" and "thee".Why?,Kindly tell me the truth. (2.) In your exercises section,the 7th question: 'This is __united community'.Your answer is "a",why?.You already mentioned that,"an" can be used when the next word begins with a vowel sound (eg. "an" umbrella). ** I'm very thankful to you,if you kindly solve my two of the above mentioned doubts separately.Thanks! By, RKR,Goldenson Arena.
Goldenson Arena Hi, therz a difference when you pronounce "University " coz the sound is constant as in "you" that's why she chose "a" concerning, "umbrella" the sound her is vowel like "uncle" so she chose an
Hi, we use "an" before words that start with a vowel sound, it doesn't necesarily have to be a vowel itself. "Government usually send an FBI troop to investigate."-- Here you use "an" because FBI is pronounced "Ef-Bee-I". As you can see, it starts with a vowel sound. Also, words like "hour", "honor", "honest" starts with a consonant, but it's pronunced as a vowel at the beginning. That's why we say "an hour", "an honor" and "an honest". On the other hand, we use "a" before words that starts with a consonant sound. University starts with a consonant sound -:ju-. Also, united does start with a consonant sound. That's why we say " a university" and "a united".
WAIT A MINUTE.... YOU USE **THE SPECIAL REPORT.....** IT IS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC REPORT AND ** A SPECIAL REPORT...** ...WHEN IT IS ANY REPORT WHICH SPECIAL....HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SOUND...THE SOUND FOR PRONOUNCING NOT THE USE IN WRITING.... IF YOU STILL ARE OPPOSED TO WHAT I JUST WROTE....IS OK...GO YOUR WAY

Your lessons are perfect as always..But,I've some doubts in the following two things.Could you please help me?.
(1.) You have pointed out that,before all consonant sounds,pronunciation of "the" is 'thuh'(eg. the university("thuh university")); but at the same time you also noted that,when the next word begins with a vowel sound,"the" pronunce as "thee"(eg. the umbrella("thee umbrella")).My question is that,in both examples,that is "the university" and "the umbrella",next word after "the" is starting with the same alphabet "u",but you had spoke it separately as "thuh" and "thee".Why?,Kindly tell me the truth.
(2.) In your exercises section,the 7th question: 'This is __united community'.Your answer is "a",why?.You already mentioned that,"an" can be used when the next word begins with a vowel sound (eg. "an" umbrella).
** I'm very thankful to you,if you kindly solve my two of the above mentioned doubts separately.Thanks!
By,
RKR,Goldenson Arena.
Goldenson Arena Hi,
therz a difference when you pronounce "University " coz the sound is constant as in "you" that's why she chose "a"
concerning, "umbrella" the sound her is vowel like "uncle" so she chose an
Hi, we use "an" before words that start with a vowel sound, it doesn't necesarily have to be a vowel itself.
"Government usually send an FBI troop to investigate."-- Here you use "an" because FBI is pronounced "Ef-Bee-I". As you can see, it starts with a vowel sound. Also, words like "hour", "honor", "honest" starts with a consonant, but it's pronunced as a vowel at the beginning. That's why we say "an hour", "an honor" and "an honest".
On the other hand, we use "a" before words that starts with a consonant sound.
University starts with a consonant sound -:ju-. Also, united does start with a consonant sound. That's why we say " a university" and "a united".
WAIT A MINUTE.... YOU USE **THE SPECIAL REPORT.....** IT IS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC REPORT AND ** A SPECIAL REPORT...** ...WHEN IT IS ANY REPORT WHICH SPECIAL....HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SOUND...THE SOUND FOR PRONOUNCING NOT THE USE IN WRITING.... IF YOU STILL ARE OPPOSED TO WHAT I JUST WROTE....IS OK...GO YOUR WAY

Hello Prakash,
If you review the lesson again, you will see that 'the' can go before any noun: singular, plural, countable or uncountable. The question is whether we need 'the' or not. In this case, there are specific places that are right >>> the right places.
