  • 0:08 - 0:11
    Hey Elvis, can we have an selfie together?
  • 0:11 - 0:15
    Oh Emily, you just said “an selfie”.
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    You need to watch this movie.
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    Let’s go.
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    Introducing Article Brothers
  • 0:31 - 0:41
    Meet the three article brothers: “a”, “an” and “the”.
  • 0:43 - 0:47
    All three brothers like to point out nouns.
  • 0:49 - 0:55
    The twin articles “a” and “an” like
    to point out singular nouns.
  • 0:56 - 1:03
    The elder brother “the” likes to point
    out both singular and plural nouns.
  • 1:05 - 1:13
    “a” and “an” are usually seen with
    one person, one place, one animal and one thing.
  • 1:14 - 1:19
    Though they are twins, both have different
    hobbies.
  • 1:20 - 1:25
    The article “a” is seen with with nouns
    that begin with consonants.
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    For example
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    a bus
  • 1:34 - 1:38
    a cow
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    a girl
  • 1:41 - 1:41
    a zoo
  • 1:45 - 1:49
    The article “an” likes to listen to nouns
    beginning with vowel sounds.
  • 1:52 - 1:56
    For example
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    an umbrella
  • 1:59 - 2:03
    an octopus
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    an ink bottle
  • 2:06 - 2:07
    an elephant
  • 2:09 - 2:14
    Come, let’s look at a few sentences where
    these three article brothers appear together.
  • 2:16 - 2:17
    That is a stall.
  • 2:19 - 2:21
    There is an umbrella on the stall.
  • 2:24 - 2:31
    Thus, we can say that articles “a” and
    “an” are used to introduce a singular
  • 2:31 - 2:32
    noun.
  • 2:32 - 2:38
    Article “the” is used when we talk about
    the introduced noun the second time.
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    In this case, it is “the stall”
  • 2:47 - 2:51
    So Siya, now do you know when to use “a”,
    “an”, and “the”?
  • 2:53 - 2:54
    Yes.
  • 2:54 - 2:56
    Thanks Elvis for showing me this great movie.
  • 3:00 - 3:08
    I now know that “a” is used with nouns
    that begin with consonants, “an” is used
  • 3:08 - 3:13
    with nouns that begin with vowels and “the”
    is used to talk about already introduced nouns.
  • 3:15 - 3:16
    Can we have a selfie now?
  • 3:17 - 3:18
    Please?
