English Grammar: The 5 Most Frequent Article Mistakes

Learn about five of the most common grammar mistakes made by English students - and learn how to avoid them! Articles are an area where you may have trouble in English, because the rules on when to use them and when not to use them are probably different from your first language. Learn whether you should say “I’m an engineer” or “I’m engineer,” “I like apples” or “I like the apples,” and more. The rules for job titles, adjectives before nouns, public places, general statements, and superlatives are taught in this video. This is an essential beginner English lesson for students who want to improve their grammar and their speaking skills in English. Watch it, become more aware of these English article mistakes. Finally, make sure to do the quiz on EngVid to solidify your understanding. www.engvid.com/english-gramma...

Alex,thank you.Could you please explain what I have to use if I'm at the bank now but not my local bank or not the one I usually go to. Is it correct to use "the bank" here?

[@engvidAlex]

Yes. Even if it’s not your usual bank, you can say “I have to go to the bank,” or “I’m at the bank” if someone asks you where you currently are. You can also say “I’m not at my normal bank. I had to use a different one.”

[@abdulkabia8486]

You clearly explain everything I. This video.Thank you for doing this for us. Please make a video on concrete and abstract nouns using towns cities villages Africa Londonderry country continents etc are the concrete or abstract nouns.Can we say Toronto city or City capital or small letter.We live in Toronto city or City.Whiich one is correct?

[@engvidAlex]

“We live in Toronto” or “We live in the city of Toronto” are the most common. I hope this helps!

[@Chwee98]

Thank you very much for the lesson. We normally say I go to school instead of saying 'the school'. Does it apply another rule? I'd very much appreciate if you could give me an answer for that. Thank you...

[@engvidAlex]

Yes it does. If you’re part of a community, the article is usually dropped. The most common examples are: school, church, mosque, temple.

What’s about "a" with uncountable nouns e.g. Alex has a great knowledge of English. Is it grammatically correct?

[@jonatanfriederichs7519]

This is at the same level as "a lot of money" Maybe "great" allows the article such as "lot"

Hi there Teacher, I have a question for you related to this topic. Which is the correct : What kind of a person is your father. Or What kind of person is your father. I would be glad if you could clarify it please

[@jonatanfriederichs7519]

The second one is more logic... When you ask for "what kind" the answer is one among the others... When you specify using "of a person" you restrict the possibilities to just one...

Hello sir first cases 1 There is some innocent people killed in the clash 2 there is book lying on the table Here both "there" work like There =dummy subject And second cases 1 There is killed some innocent people in the clash. 2 there is lying a book on the table . Here both "there" work like There = adverb Am I correct. If i am right Third cases So when we use this sentence in subordinate clause Like this 1 ..…........ Where there is killed some innocent people in the clash . 2. ............when there is lying a book on the table Here my question is In both cases Is "There word " working like a Adverb or introductory.

Why not " he is a greatest chef in the world " instead of "The"

[@engvidAlex]

Because he is alone in his greatness. He is at the top of the rankings. In this case, you must say “He is the greatest.” You can also say “He is one of the greatest” if you would like to say he is one of many great chefs.

[@jishankhan6686]

The cow is a domestic animal or Cow is a domestic animal which one is correct

[@engvidAlex]

You can “Cows are” or “The cow is” in this case. Just make sure you don’t say “The cows” if you are referring to all cows.
