Item types
Depending on whether they are elements that the issuer already knows or not, they are divided into specific or indeterminate. For example: The cat crawled out the window. / A cat crawled out the window. In the first case, the sender knows the cat and refers to a specific cat, while in the second case it refers to an unknown animal.
Certain items. They are used when the reader already knows the element because it is not the first time it has been named. The determined items are:
- The (singular masculine). For example: the field, the boy, the love.
- The (singular feminine). For example: the hammock, the grandmother, the courage.
- The (masculine plural). For example: the bridges, the Adults.
- The (feminine plural). For example: the bed sheets, the female students, the reasons.
Undetermined. They are used when the reader does not know the element since it is the first time it has been named. The indeterminate articles are:
- A one (singular masculine). For example: a day, one best, a story.
- Some (masculine plural). For example: some picture, some dogs.
- A (singular feminine). For example: a song, a girlfriend, a idea.
- Nail (feminine plural). For example: nail windows, nail friends.
To these articles is added the, which is neutral, in addition to contractions to the (to + him) and of the (of + the).
How do they work within the sentence?
The syntactic role of articles is to be direct modifiers, since they are always attached to a noun and modify it without any intermediary element.
As a modifier of a noun, the articles function as a direct modifier in any syntactic structure in which there may be a noun.
For example:
- A employee quoted us. ("the" is MD of the subject's core)
- We will give the word. ("the" is the nucleus of the direct object)
- Javier, the older brother, took the lead. ("the" is MD of the apposition kernel)
