Lý thuyết
Articles are used to define nouns as specific or unspecific. The definite article 'the' refers to a particular item, while the indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' refer to any item within a group. The zero article is used when no article is needed, often with plural or uncountable nouns.
- Khẳng định: A/An/The + noun (e.g., A cat is on the roof.)
- Phủ định: Subject + do/does not + use an article + noun (e.g., I do not see the cat.)
- Nghi vấn: Do/Does + subject + use an article + noun? (e.g., Does she have a book?)
