Grammar Lesson – Articles

In today’s lesson, with one of my students in Vietnam, I’m focussing on grammar, and the various ways in which we use the definite and indefinite articles in the English language.

Articles is probably one of the most problematic areas of grammar to learn, and in this lesson I will be teaching a system of rules to help my student to use them accurately.

The Ellipsis . . .

The three dots are called ellipsis, and are used indicate that something has been left out of a sentence. For example, in William Wordsworth’s lyric poem, he writes: “I wandered lonely . . .”. The ellipsis indicates that something has been left out – in this case the missing words are: “as a cloud.”.

The ellipsis has three dots, and is used either with spaces between each ellipsis point, or as a three-letter word ( . . . or … ). Either style is acceptable, but be consistent. My preferred style is to use spaces.

Whichever style you use, please remember: the ellipsis is never more than three dots!
