Study OutcomesCheat Sheet
Colorful paper art promoting a trivia quiz on Nouns and Articles for high school students.

Identify the correct usage of the indefinite article before a noun that begins with a vowel sound.
a orange
a apple
an banana
an apple
The indefinite article 'an' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, making 'an apple' the correct choice. The other options misuse the article with the given noun.
Which sentence correctly uses a definite article with a common noun?
I read an book last night.
I read the book last night.
I read a book last night.
I read book last night.
The sentence 'I read the book last night' uses the definite article 'the' to refer to a specific book. The other sentences either use an indefinite article or omit the article entirely.
Which option is a proper noun?
city
restaurant
car
New York
Proper nouns name specific entities and are capitalized. 'New York' is a proper noun, whereas the other options are common nouns.
Choose the sentence that demonstrates correct usage of articles with singular countable nouns.
She adopted a cat.
She adopted the cat's.
She adopted cat.
She adopted an cat.
The sentence 'She adopted a cat.' correctly uses the indefinite article for a singular countable noun. The other options either omit the necessary article or use an incorrect one.
Which example shows correct article usage with non-count nouns?
She gave me an advice.
She gave me some advice.
She gave me advice.
She gave me an information.
Non-count nouns like 'advice' typically do not require an article unless a specific quantity is mentioned. 'She gave me advice.' correctly omits an unnecessary article.
Which sentence correctly applies the rule for using 'an' before words with a silent 'h'?
He is a historical man.
He is an honest man.
He is a honest man.
He is an historic man.
The 'h' in 'honest' is silent, so the word begins with a vowel sound. Therefore, 'an honest man' correctly uses the indefinite article 'an'.
Which option correctly uses articles with a plural noun referring to a general class?
An dogs are loyal.
Dogs are loyal.
A dogs are loyal.
The dogs are loyal.
When making a general statement about all members of a class, articles are typically omitted. 'Dogs are loyal.' correctly makes a general observation without using an article.
Identify the sentence that correctly uses articles with both countable and uncountable nouns.
She bought a bread and a apple.
She bought bread and apple.
She bought bread and an apple.
She bought a bread and an apple.
In this sentence, 'bread' is an uncountable noun and does not need an article, while 'an apple' correctly uses the indefinite article for a singular countable noun.
Which sentence demonstrates proper article usage when introducing new items for the first time?
I have the pen and the apple.
I have pen and an apple.
I have a pen and an apple.
I have the pen and an apple.
When introducing items for the first time, indefinite articles ('a' and 'an') are used for new, nonspecific references. 'I have a pen and an apple.' is correct because it uses these articles appropriately.
Which sentence correctly omits the article in a context where it is not required?
I enjoy playing an football.
I enjoy playing football.
I enjoy playing the football.
I enjoy playing a football.
When referring to sports in a general sense, articles are often omitted. 'I enjoy playing football.' correctly leaves out any article, making it the proper choice.
Identify the sentence that correctly uses articles for referring back to a previously mentioned singular countable noun.
I lost a book, but I found the book.
I lost a book, but I found a book.
I lost the book, but I found a book.
I lost book, but I found book.
The definite article 'the' is used to indicate a specific noun that has been previously mentioned. 'I lost a book, but I found the book.' properly differentiates between an introduced item and its later reference.
Choose the sentence with proper article application for non-count and abstract nouns.
She has love for music.
She has an love for music.
She has a love for music.
She has the love for music.
Abstract nouns, when used in a general sense, often do not require an article. 'She has love for music.' correctly omits an article for the abstract noun 'love'.
Which option demonstrates correct article usage with an uncountable noun in a quantified context?
He gave me the advice.
He gave me a advice.
He gave me some advice.
He gave me an advice.
Uncountable nouns like 'advice' do not pair with an indefinite article. The use of 'some' correctly quantifies the uncountable noun, making 'He gave me some advice.' the correct choice.
Which sentence correctly applies the rule for using an article with a noun that begins with a vowel sound despite starting with a consonant letter?
She is a honor student.
She is a MBA student.
She is an university student.
She is an MBA student.
Although 'MBA' starts with a consonant letter, its pronunciation begins with a vowel sound, necessitating the use of 'an.' Conversely, 'university' begins with a 'y' sound and 'honor' has a silent 'h,' requiring different article usage.
Identify the sentence that correctly uses articles in a complex sentence.
The teacher, who is known for her kindness, gave a student a chance to speak.
Teacher, who is known for her kindness, gave student chance to speak.
Teacher, who is known for her kindness, gave a student chance to speak.
The teacher, who is known for her kindness, gave student a chance to speak.
This sentence properly uses the definite article 'the' to indicate a specific teacher and the indefinite article 'a' to introduce a new subject, 'student.' It clearly demonstrates appropriate article usage within a complex sentence structure.
In which sentence is the omission of articles appropriately applied to mass nouns and general statements?
The knowledge is power.
A knowledge is power.
Knowledge is the power.
Knowledge is power.
Mass nouns and abstract concepts like 'knowledge' are generally used without an article when stated in a general context. 'Knowledge is power.' correctly omits the article, making it the best choice.
Which option demonstrates the correct use of an article when an adjective that begins with a consonant sound modifies a singular countable noun?
She adopted a cute puppy.
She adopted a adorable puppy.
She adopted an adorable puppy.
She adopted an cute puppy.
For adjectives that begin with a consonant sound, the indefinite article 'a' is used. 'She adopted a cute puppy.' correctly applies this rule, while the other options incorrectly pair the article with the adjective.
Determine which sentence properly integrates the use of articles in a sentence with coordinate adjectives.
It was an long and winding road.
It was a long and a winding road.
It was long and a winding road.
It was a long and winding road.
When two coordinate adjectives modify the same noun, only one article is required before the noun. 'It was a long and winding road.' demonstrates proper article usage with coordinate adjectives.
Which sentence best demonstrates the proper usage of articles with abstract nouns contrasted with countable nouns?
Patience is the virtue, and a friend is invaluable.
Patience is a virtue, and friend is invaluable.
Patience is virtue, and a friend is invaluable.
Patience is a virtue, and a friend is invaluable.
The well-known proverb 'Patience is a virtue' requires the indefinite article for 'virtue,' and 'a friend' correctly introduces a singular countable noun. Thus, the sentence in option C correctly contrasts abstract and countable nouns with proper article usage.
Select the sentence that correctly uses articles to differentiate between a specific reference and a non-specific reference.
Student submitted report, but error was found in his analysis.
The student submitted a report, but an error was found in his analysis.
The student submitted a report, but a error was found in his analysis.
A student submitted the report, but an error was found in his analysis.
This sentence correctly uses 'the' for a specific student and 'a' to introduce a report, while 'an error' is correctly used before a vowel sound. It clearly differentiates between known and new references using appropriate articles.
