There is no need to worry
about whether a noun is masculine, feminine,
or neuter in English. Normally, a noun
is preceded by a definite article (THE)
or an indefinite article (A, AN) as follows:
DEFINITE ARTICLE
the tourist
the area
the card
the hotel
the restaurant
the people
the signs
INDEFINITE ARTICLE
a tourist
an area
a card
a hotel
a restaurant
some people
some signs
Note that definite articles refer to something
specific, while indefinite articles refer
to something non-specific. Use an in front
of words beginning with vowels and some
with plural nouns. |
