I got most of them right, but the most important thing I have learned is how to use the articles correctly as well as according to grammatical rules . For me the most challenging things in English is using the prepositions and articles confidentiality and naturally . Teacher Wes thank you so much ❤️ for this amazing presentation .

I grew up in the upper midwest.( the parts of country) Go straight , the store is on the right. My friend is down and out. he still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Aphorism.

Hi Wes．Thanks to the lesson，I was able to restudy about the articles．I think Japanese people are quite weak on learning the usage of articles in English because there are lots of differences between English and Japanese in terms of grammatical structure．And I'm not the exception． I can hardly wait for the next episode．Have a nice day！ Ikuo Suenaga from Japan．

I have a very big question! What if the part where a subject was first mentioned was removed and only the sentence where you would put THE article left. It hasn't been mentioned, yet it would feel like it has been. What article should I use in this case

[@ranwinsu8351]

In a grammar book the chapter heading THE SENTENCE what is the definite article the refering to?

[@nestormartinez7108]

I just wanna say thank you. 👍

[@am_podcast]

Whenever I find difficulties in grammar in class I don't care or try to annoy myself because I am sure there is a channel called Interactive English run by amazing teacher. But sometimes I find a difficult rule and come here search about it when I don't find it I really feel like I will not have that rule.

[@eugenec7130]

Undeniably this is great video. But issue is English itself. For non-native English speaker like me, there are simply too many unnecessary details in English. In case of article, why can't we just use NO ARTICLE in all cases. For example, "Can you please bring me one shirt? If you can, bring purple shirt. " The meaning is perfectly clear without any article, and that saves us so much trouble about articles.

[@InteractiveEng]

Yes, articles - and prepositions - make the language more challenging to master. And I think this is especially true if one's native language does not use articles. Just keep practicing and getting exposure. 👍

[@tanogongo2135]

I would like the more expensive ring.( The is used because it is specifically mentioned)

I remember an article-related lesson of yours addressing this: which is correct, a herb or an herb? It depends on the pronunciation, so in the UK it's 'a herb' whereas in the US the correct variant is 'an herb' ☺.

[@InteractiveEng]

That's right. Good memory. 👍

[@user-bu9fw2fs9f]

Good video! I have a question I have been wondering about for a while that I cant find answers to online. How come some people sometimes ad "ar" or just "r" at the end of a word (often names and at the end of a sentence I think)? I have heard it in gaming comentary, instead of saying "thats a free win for the Tusk" they said "its free win for the Tuskar". And instead of "I dont know about this Luna, but I dont think she can" they say "I dont know about this Lunar, but I dont think she can".
