  phrases. Like other adjectives, they help clarify the meaning of
  the noun in your sentence

countable:

  singular                 the                               a, an
              e.g. I need to study hardest    e.g. I have an exam to write this
             for the exam that I write next   afternoon, and then my summer
                       Wednesday.                   holiday finally begins.

  plural                  the                                   Ø
             e.g. The exams that I wrote      e.g. Exams are an inescapable
             last year were much easier.      fact of life for most university
                                              students.
Uncountable :

                      definite                  indefinite
     singular               the                         Ø
                  e.g. The importance of       e.g. Do not attach

                       exaggerated.                  facts.




 Observe the following: If the noun is definite, it always takes the
 article the; if the noun is indefinite it never takes the article the. If
 you don't have the chart in front of you, you can still often get the
 article right just by remembering that simple rule of thumb.
