Review UNIT 3

THE vs NO ARTICLE

The uses before nouns of which there is only one.

example- The earth is round

Before a noun which has become definite as a result of being mentioned a second time.

example- we saw a good film last night, It  was the film you recommended.

Before names of seas, rivers, chains of mountains, groups of islands.

example- The Pacific Ocean, The thames

Before musical instruments

examples- She play the piano.

We do not use an article when we talk sbout plural nouns when we are talking generally.

examples- Dogs are very intelligent animals.
                 Companies spend lots of mone in advertising.

INDIRECT QUESTIONS

We use indiret questions when we want to make more polite questions. They have an opening phrase before the main question. Indirect questions do not follow the question Word order.

For yes/no questions, include if/ whether after the opening phrase.

examples:

• Where can I buy a good computer?- Can you tell me where I can buy a good computer?
• Are there any internet cafes around here?- Do you know if there are any internet cafes around here ?
• Where is the post office?- Could you tell me where the post office is ?
