✨ WHEN TO USE A, AN or THE
Remember, in order to use A, AN, and THE properly, you must know whether or not a noun is a Count or Non-Count Noun. (A count noun is the name of something that can be counted: one book, two books, three books. A non-count noun is the name of something that cannot be counted: milk, flour, freedom, justice).
✨ General Rules Use "a" or "an" with a singular count noun when you mean "one of many," "any," "in general."
Examples:
1. Sidi is a student (one of many students).
2. I like a good movie (one of many movies).
✨Use "the" with any noun when the meaning is specific; for example, when the noun names the only one (or one) of a kind.
Examples:
1. Adam was the first man (the only 'first man').
2. New York is the largest city in the United States (only one city can be 'the largest').
