1 Definite articles
Every noun has a word that goes with it, which we call a determiner. It is sometimes also called an article. When we mean a particular person, animal or thing, we use a definite article. It is “the”; in the plural, it is also “the”. Fill in the definite articles correctly in the following text.
2 Indefinite articles
When we don’t know exactly which living being or thing is meant, we use an indefinite article. This is either the word “ein” or the word “eine.” Fill in the correct indefinite articles in the exercise below.
