Grammar work
Remember! We use a with singular countable nouns when we give the class or group that smb/smth is in.
—I need a new computer:
—Vm a student.
We also use a/an to mean «every» in prices and measurements.
—fifty km an hour.
We use a/an when we mean «any one», «it doesn't matter which one» or when the listener doesn't know which one.
— I'd like to have a dog.
We use t_he when the listener knows which one we are talking about.
—Do you mind if I open the window ?
Compare a/an and some.
—She bought a hat, some shoes and some perfume.
Be careful with these words — they are usually uncountable in English:
Bread, weather, information, advice, hair, furniture, paper, news.
—It's nice weather today.
I. Put in a/an or some.
