Nilitengeneza BASIC RULES for the use of ARTICLES in English, pamoja na mazoezi na majibu.

Unaweza kupakua Document kutoka webpage hiyo: English Grammar | somabiblia

Zipo websites nyingine ambazo zinayo maelezo mazuri na mengi sana, lakini mimi nilitengeneza document with simple, clear and basic rules. Huwezi kupata mahali pengine, nafikiri! Ni kama quick reference sheets. Pia ya kwangu unaweza kupakua bure na bila viruses.

Websites nyingine iliyo bora kujifunza Kiingereza :

Advanced English lessons Hamna bora kuliko website hiyo kwa Grammar, kwa kauli yangu.

Kujifunza Kiingereza kwa kusoma na kusikia nenda kwa:

Learning English - 6 Minute English

6 Minute English page ni vizuri sana, hasa kama unajua Kiingereza kwa kiasi tu. Unaweza kusikia na kusoma wakati ule ule. Zaidi ya hayo, unaweza kupakua yote – audio files na document files. Wanayo mambo mengi, lakini lazima ujue Kiingereza kwa kiasi – siyo kwa Beginners. Waliumba website mpya, lakini inaonekana original ni bora. Hapo juu ni anwani ya original website, nashauri shika webpage hiyo na tumia webpage hiyo kuchagua pages nyingine katika website hiyo, lakini usibonyeze ‘Home', ila ukitaka kuona website mpya. Kwangu inaonekana yapo mambo mengi zaidi kwenye original website!

Anwani ya website mpya ni:

BBC Learning English - Learning English

Mimi ni mwalimu wa lugha ya Kiingereza katika Shule ya Kimataifa hapa Uingereza. Nimekuwa ninafundisha lugha ya Kiingereza kwa miaka 30 kwa wanafunzi watokao ulimwengu mzima. Lakini sasa ninajitahidi kujifunza Kiswahili (hakika tayari umeshatambua hiyo kutokana na Kiswahili changu!) na kwa hiyo nilijiunga na JF! Karibuni!

from what I know about article is that an article 'a' stands in front of a noun or a pronoun which begins with a consonant sounds for instance a book, a window, a cow etc

whereas an article "an" stands in front of a noun or pronoun which begins with a vowel sound in pronouncing them for example an aeroplane, an egg, an orange etc

in the case of the article "the" stands in front of nouns which are unique by nature for example , the mountain, the sun, the moon, the king, the queen etc
