Articles

In the English language we have two kinds os articles.

Indefinite articles: A an AN. Are used to refer something.

For example:
I have a cat.
That is an elephant.
a guittar
a book
an analyst

NOTE: We use A before words wich the first letter has a sound of a consonant.
             We use AN before words wich the first letter has a sound of a vowel.


Definite articles: THE. Is used when you know that the listener knows or can work out what particular person/thing you are talking about.

For Example:

Verb to be (simple present)

One of the most studied verbs of the english language is the verb to be. With it you can say what you are or where have you been. This verb walks side by side with the personal pronouns. See the table and the examples below:

Personal pronouns	VERB TO BE	Complement
I	Am	a teacher
You	Are	a doctor
He	Is	a student
She	Is	an analyst
It	Is	a book
We	Are	friends
You	Are	pilots
They	Are	cousins

Like I said before, the verb to be can express something that you are or a place where you are.
Example:

I am a teacher.
I am in my house.

There is also the contracted form:

Contracted form

I’m

You’re

He’s

She’s

It’s

We’re

You’re

They’re
