Почему так
- a / an выбираем по первому звуку, а не по букве:
\(an\) — перед гласным звуком: an orange, an hour, an engineer;
\(a\) — перед согласным звуком: a useful book, a uniform, a European country.
Поэтому an hour, но a useful book. - the ставим, если предмет уже упомянут или конкретизирован: a bag → the bag, the apples on the table, the coffee in this cup.
- Ø — если говорим о чём-то вообще: Ø dolphins are intelligent, Ø children need love, Ø classical music.
- С профессиями в единственном числе — a/an: a pilot, an architect.
С порядковыми числительными и превосходной степенью — the: the first time, the second floor, the shortest month. - В географических названиях: Ø Europe, но the United Kingdom.
Проверка: самые важные ловушки здесь — an hour, a useful book, an architect, the United Kingdom, Ø Europe.
