The Articles

Articles are small words that we use before nouns to give more information about them.There are three articles: "a," "an," and "the." Indefinite Articles: "a" and "an" "A" is used before words that start with a consonant sound. Example: "I saw a cat." "An" is used before words that start with a vowel sound. Example: "She has an umbrella." Definite Article: "the" "The" is used before both singular and plural nouns when we are talking about specific things that we already know about or can understand from the context. Example: "I'm going to the store." (In the context, we know wich store does the subject is talking about)

modals of probability in the present & past

Modal verbs express different degrees of certainty or probability. Here are some examples of modal verbs used to express probability in both the present and the past: Present: She might be at home. (There is a possibility she is at home.) He could be the one who took it. (There is a possibility he took it.) They may have already left. (There is a possibility they have left.) Past: She might have forgotten about the meeting. (There is a possibility she forgot.) He could have missed the bus. (There is a possibility he missed it.) They may have arrived early. (There is a possibility they arrived early.) These modal verbs help convey the idea of likelihood or possibility in both present and past situations.
