Упражнение 4. Вставьте артикль, где необходимо. 1. This is ... pen. ... pen is red.

Давай разберем упражнение. В английском языке мы используем неопределенный артикль **a/an** для исчисляемых существительных в единственном числе, когда говорим о предмете впервые. Определенный артикль **the** используется, когда предмет упоминается повторно или является конкретным. Вот решения: 1. This is **a** pen. **The** pen is red. 2. These are pencils. **The** pencils are black. (Артикль не нужен, так как существительное во множественном числе). 3. This is soup. **The** soup is so tasty. (Неисчисляемое существительное, a/an не ставим). 4. In the morning I eat **a** sandwich and drink tea. (Tea — неисчисляемое). 5. She gave me coffee and **a** cake. 6. **The** coffee was hot. **The** cake was very tasty. Do you like ice cream? 7. I see **a** book in your hand. Is **the** book interesting? 8. Do you need **a** camera? 9. He never eats meat, he always eats vegetables, cereals, seeds, fruit, and nuts. He is **a** vegetarian. (В перечислении артикли не нужны, если мы говорим о категориях продуктов в целом). 10. This is **a** pineapple. **The** pineapple is delicious. 11. Elaine, apples are good for you! 12. My cousin is upset. He's got **a** sore throat. 13. This is cottage cheese. **The** cottage cheese is fresh. 14. She bought meat, butter and potatoes yesterday.
