    Правильно ли употреблены артикли в данном предложении? I bought a kitten yesterday. - ProProfs

    Правильно ли употреблены артикли в данном предложении? I bought a kitten yesterday.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given sentence "I bought a kitten yesterday" is grammatically correct. The use of the indefinite article "a" before the noun "kitten" is appropriate because the speaker is referring to a non-specific kitten, not a specific one. Therefore, the sentence is correctly using the articles.

        Выберите правильный ответ: Ann bought ____ beautiful dress. ____ dress is pink. - ProProfs

        Выберите правильный ответ: Ann bought ____ beautiful dress. ____ dress is pink.

    • The; the

    • A; the

    • No article; the

    • A; no article

    Correct Answer
    A. A; the
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "a; the". In this sentence, "a" is used before the word "beautiful" to indicate that the dress is one of many possible dresses. "The" is used before the word "dress" to indicate that the speaker is referring to a specific dress, the one that is pink.

    Вставьте пропущенный артикль, если необходимо: For the forth time this week, Katya is having ___ headache. - ProProfs

    Вставьте пропущенный артикль, если необходимо: For the forth time this week, Katya is having ___ headache.

    Correct Answer
    a
    Explanation
    The word "headache" is a countable noun, so it requires an article before it. In this case, the correct article to use is "a" because it indicates that Katya is having one specific headache, not a specific or particular headache. The use of "the" would imply that there is a specific headache that Katya is referring to, which is not the intended meaning in this sentence.

    Правильно ли употреблены артикли в данном предложении? Not a word was spoken, not a sound was made. - ProProfs

    Правильно ли употреблены артикли в данном предложении? Not a word was spoken, not a sound was made.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In this sentence, the use of the indefinite articles "a" before "word" and "sound" is correct. The sentence is emphasizing the absence of any word or sound, indicating that none were spoken or made. The use of "a" before both nouns helps to convey this meaning.

    Выберите правильный ответ: Elvis Presley is _____ American singer.

    • A

    • No article

    • An

    • The

    Correct Answer
    A. An
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "an" because "Elvis Presley" starts with a vowel sound (/ɛ/), and when a noun starts with a vowel sound, we use the indefinite article "an" before it.

    Выберите правильный ответ: Believe me, when ___ woman really makes her mind to marry ____ man nothing on God's earth can save him. - ProProfs

    Выберите правильный ответ: Believe me, when ___ woman really makes her mind to marry ____ man nothing on God's earth can save him.

    • A; a

    • The; the

    • No articles

    • The; a

    Correct Answer
    A. A; a
    Explanation
    When a woman really makes her mind to marry a man, nothing on God's earth can save him. The use of the indefinite article "a" before "woman" and "man" indicates that any woman and any man are being referred to in this statement. It suggests that once a woman has made up her mind to marry someone, there is no escape or avoidance for that man.

    Correct Answer
    A. A
