Articles in English (Your Reflections)

 Hello guys,

I'd like to share some opinions on articles and looking forward to receiving your opinion on the same topic.

So, ARTICLES

... article usage in English is complex and, in many instances, arbitrary. There are several different uses for each article, articles are often omitted, and there are dialectal differences in the use of articles.

                                                                                        (Brinton & Brinton, 2010, p.123)

... the English article system ... appears to be virtually impermeable to instruction.

                                                                                        (Gass & Selinker, 2008, p. 383)

What is your opinion about article system in English?

Don't get bored at home!!!)))
