Download this free A2–B1 grammar worksheet PDF for English learners and teachers. This lesson helps students practise articles in English, including a, an, the and no article.
Students learn when to use a and an before singular countable nouns. The worksheet explains that a is used before a consonant sound, as in a book, a teacher and a university, while an is used before a vowel sound, as in an apple, an engineer and an hour.
The worksheet also teaches when to use the for something specific or already known. Students practise examples such as the jacket I bought yesterday, the sun, the moon, the internet, the best film and the most interesting lesson. This helps learners understand the difference between first mention and specific reference.
Students also practise when to use no article. The worksheet explains that no article is used for general plural nouns and uncountable nouns, such as Dogs need exercise, Music helps me relax and Children need sleep. It also covers no article with meals, most cities and most countries, such as breakfast, Cardiff, London, France and Vietnam.
The PDF includes a grammar focus section, articles exercises, choose-the-correct-form practice, sentence matching, mistake correction, mini-dialogues, mixed article practice, specific/general meaning practice, speaking questions, writing practice, vocabulary practice, an error-checking challenge, useful reminders and a full answer key.
This worksheet can be used in one-to-one lessons, group classes, online English lessons, adult ESL lessons, EFL classes, homework or independent grammar practice.
