Read the following description
I am from Seattle, Washington. Seattle is a city in the United States . It is near the border of Canada in the northwest corner of the USA. I live in a town called Olympia which is on the Puget Sound. I live in a house in a street in the countryside . The street is called " Bear Street" and the house is old - more than 100 years old! I am an English teacher at a school in the center of the town. I like books and taking photographs. I usually have lunch at school. I usually go home by car. We have all kinds of food in Olympia. I like Italian food very much. Sometimes, I go to an Italian restaurant in Seattle. The restaurant is called " Luigi 's". Italian food is great!
Here are the rules for when to use "A, An or The":
  • a = indefinite article (not a specific object , one of a number of the same objects) with consonants
    She has a dog.
    I work in a factory.

  • an = indefinite article (not a specific object, one of a number of the same objects) with vowels (a,e,i,o,u)
    Can I have an apple?
    She is an English teacher.

  • the = definite article (a specific object that both the person speaking and the listener know )
    The car over there is fast .
    The teacher is very good , isn't he?

  • The first time you speak of something use "a or an", the next time you repeat that object use "the".
    I live in a house. The house is quite old and has four bedrooms.
    I ate in a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant was very good.

  • DO NOT use an article with countries, states, counties or provinces, lakes and mountains except when the country is a collection of states such as "The United States".
    He lives in Washington near Mount Rainier .
    They live in northern British Columbia.

  • Use an article with bodies of water, oceans and seas -
    My country borders on the Pacific Ocean

  • DO NOT use an article when you are speaking about things in general
    I like Russian tea.
    She likes reading books.

  • DO NOT use an article when you are speaking about meals , places, and transport
    He has breakfast
    at home.
    I go to university .
    He comes to work by taxi.
