レッスンで出てきた文法・単語VOCABULARY:
-Definite article
-Indefinite article
-countable
-uncountable 

GRAMMAR AND EXPLANATION:
Using nouns ¡n the general sense
1. In the sentence Dogs hate cats, we are not speaking about specific dogs or cats. We mean dogs generally and cats generally.
2. When we use nouns in the general sense. we put them in the plural and we do not put an article ("a''. ''an'' or ''the'') in front of them. For example, ''Schools educate children" or "Machines help people do jobs''.
3. If a noun does not have a plural form, we simply use it on its own. also without an article. For example. "Bread is commonly eaten with butter" or "Blood is red".

Definite article and Indefinite article
The articles in English are "the", "a" and "an'. We call the word "the" the definite article, and we call the words "a" and "an" the indefinite articles. We use "a" before a word that starts with a consonant sound, whereas we use "an" before a word that starts with a vowel sound.

Use of the indefinite articles: "a" and "an"
1. The indefinite articles 'a" and "an" mean the same as "one", and we use them with singular countable nouns. For example, we say "a chair", "an apple" etc. We do not use them with uncountable nouns like "bread", "water" etc.
2. Sometimes, we use the word "one" instead of the indefinite article. but only when we need to emphasize the number. For example. "I have two sisters but only one brother", or "There's just one problem with your idea of going to the cinema; we have no money". If we do not need to emphasize the number, we use the indefinite article. For example, "I went to a really good restaurant last night", or "Ha is an artist". 

SENTENCE STRUCTURED:
-It's raining today.
-I worked overtime yesterday for 12 or 13 hours.
-I arrived home late at 10:30 pm.

-If a noun doesn't have a plural form, we simply use it on its own, also without an article.

-No, it isn't correct to say "The water is necessary for the life".
-We must say "Water is necessary for life" instead.
-The articles ¡n English are "the", "a" and "an".
-We call the word "the" the definite article.
-We call the words "a" and "an" the indefinite articles.
