Many English students often admit that the English article system is very confusing at first. Just when do you use a, an, or the, or when don’t you use them at all? While it may be a challenge to get it right 100% of the time, it is possible to master the use of definite and indefinite articles MOST of the time, bringing you close to the level of a native speaker.
How can this be accomplished? By examining a few simple rules and then PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
The course: How to Master DEFINITE INDEFINITE Articles does just that.
A number of modules give illustrated examples with notes explaining the use of definite and indefinite articles in each case.
Then practice exercises allow the student to fill in the blanks using a, an, the or no article. This is a very practical method for becoming confident in using definite indefinite articles.
There is also a module dedicated to special cases. While the general rules apply in most cases, there are a number of exceptions. Memorizing these will enable the student to achieve native speaker level.

Let’s examine the second example:
“Sorry, I forgot to get the milk.”
The definite article is used when referring to a subject that was previously mentioned or known.
