B. Classification the use of Article A, An, and The

Next material is about Article a, An, and the. Let's read and understand the material below!
 Definite article (The word 'The' is included in the definite article. This 'The' has no
meaning but has several functions)
Article 'The' is used for unique objects, / it is used for a specific thing. for example:
- The sky is dark, maybe it is going to rain.
- The ocean is so blue.
- The internet is slow!
- The books is cheap
Article 'The' shows which objects are specific and clear which objects and how they are.
Example:

- I have finished the homework before my mother told me.

- The book has been returned to the library.

Article 'The' is placed in front of the noun that is already known at the beginning of the
sentence. Examples such as:

- We cooked a chicken for dinner last night, the chicken was very tough.

- Yesterday we bought a new computer, and the computer is really good.

 Indefinite article
A / An is an indefinite article which means sebuah, seorang, seekor, depending on
what object it shows. This means a / an indicates that there is only 1 object shown. Then
 what is the difference between using a and an? The difference in use lies in the initial
letter of the object. Article 'a' is used for words that sound beginning with a consonant,
for example; a ball, a dog, a cat, a girl, a man, a university, a european and so on. While
article 'an' is used for words that sound beginning with a vowel, such as: an apple, an
enemy, an old man, an iguana, and so on.
A / an function in English
A = sebuah, seorang, sebutir or seekor.
a single noun beginning with a consonant sound (except than A I U E O)
example : a book, a bag, a cat etc.
An = sebuah, seorang, sebutir or seekor.
Singular noun beginning with a vowel sound (A I U E O)
Example : an umbrella, an orange, an apple etc.
Article a / an is used for singular objects. In which only one noun is shown. A and an
here mean an example like:
- My dad bought me a dog
- I bring an apple to school.
Article a / an is used to indicate a number such as a thousand or one hundred.
Example:
- I got a thousand dollars from the lottery.
- There were more than a hundred birds on the island.

READING ACTIVITIES
Read the text bellow, give the right answers and reasons!

Today is a beautiful day, because today is my 17th birthday, and I got a gift from my mother, I
was very happy because suddenly my mother gave me a bag and gave me an umbrella. the
gift was bought by the mother from abroad.

Example : From the text there is sentence “I got a gift”, why use article a in a sentence
not use an or the? Explain it! It is because the word “gift” is not beginning with a
consonant (A I U E O) therefore we must use the article a, and the word "gift" is singular.
1. From the text there is sentence “gave me a bag” why use article a in a sentence not use a
or the? Explain it!
2. From the text there is sentence “gave me an umbrella” why use article an in a sentence
not use a or the? Explain it!
