Article (Артикль)

Артикль – это служебное слово, которое определяет существительное. В английском языке два артикля – определенный и неопределенный.

Определенный артикль the произошел от указательных местоимений this / that, отсюда и его значение определенности.

Неопределенный артикль a /an произошел от количественного числительного one – один.

Особые случаи употребления определенного артикля

1. Определенный артикль используется, когда речь идет об уникальном, единственном в своем роде объекте.

Janet and Jake do most of their shopping on the Internet. – Большинство своих покупок Джанет и Джейк делают в интернете.

2. Определенный артикль используется для указания целого класса предметов или явлений. В таком случае существительное становится символом всего класса.

The otter is a faithful and very playful animal. – Выдра – верное и очень игривое животное.

The hyacinth is a symbol of spring and rebirth. – Гиацинт – символ весны и возрождения.

Если существительное в этой функции стоит во множественном числе, то артикль не используется.
