These small words are some of the hardest to use correctly. We'll start practising them in this lesson.
But, don't worry too much if you continue to make mistakes with them. As you progress through the course, your ears will start to tell you what 'sounds' right!
Step 1:
Watch both video lessons and do the exercises in the videos.
When you hear an important point or see a good example, stop the video and make some notes.
Step 2:
When you've finished the video lessons, download the Exercise PDF below and do the exercises.
Step 3:
When you've finished the written exercises, download the ZIP file below.
Use the Answer key PDF to check and correct your answers.
Then, use the Audio file to build reflexes for using the articles through two listening activities:
Activity 1: Listen & write (or type) each correct answer.
Activity 2: Listen & repeat each correct answer out loud several times without looking at the text.
Step 4:
When you feel you've fully mastered the material in this lesson, take the quiz.
You need to get a minimum score of 80% in each quiz to receive your Certificate of Completion, so repeat the quiz until you score above 80%. You can take each quiz up to 10 times.
