(i) Articles
Determiners वे शब्द हैं जो यह संकेत देते हैं कि किसी Noun का प्रयोग होने वाला है। ये किसी रूप में अपने आगे प्रयुक्त Noun को संशोधित (modify) करते हैं। Modern English Grammar में Articles को Determiners के अन्तर्गत शामिल किया जाता है।
प्रकार - Articles केवल तीन होते हैं-a, an, the । इनके प्रयोग के नियम निम्न प्रकार हैं
'A' Article का प्रयोग
1. Noun--singular et
2. Noun-countable हो।
3. उस जाति के समस्त प्राणियों अथवा वस्तुओं का बोध. कराये।
4. ध्वनि हिन्दी के व्यंजन से निकलती हो।
Example:
('A' Article का प्रयोग)
1 Noun-Singular हो।
2. Noun Countable हो।
3. Vowels (a,e,i, o तथा u) से शुरू होने वाले शब्दों के पहले an का प्रयोग किया जाता है। इन शब्दों की ध्वनि प्रायः हिन्दी के स्वर से निकलती है। अतः दूसरे शब्दों में, अंग्रेजी के शब्द की ध्वनि, यदि हिन्दी के स्वर (अ, आ, इ, ई, उ, ऊ, ए, ऐ, ओ, औ .........) से निकले तो an article आयेगा। दूसरे शब्दों में, an article स्वर की ध्वनि पर लगता है।
