Unit 75: The (Частина 3) – Children / The Children


A. Коли ми говоримо про речі або людей загалом (без “the”)

Коли ми маємо на увазі речі або людей загалом, ми не використовуємо артикль “the”.

Приклади загальних понять:

Без артикля Переклад

Загальні правила без “the”:

  • Не використовуємо the перед іменниками, коли говоримо про загальні поняття.
  • Не використовуємо the перед більшістю назв предметів або явищ:
    • Sugar isn’t very good for you. (Цукор не дуже корисний для тебе.)
    • English people drink a lot of tea. (Англійці взагалі п’ють багато чаю.)

B. Коли ми говоримо про конкретні речі або людей (з “the”)

Коли ми говоримо про конкретну групу людей або предметів, використовуємо the.

Приклади конкретних ситуацій:

З артиклем “the” Переклад

D. Не завжди різниця очевидна

Іноді відмінність між загальним і конкретним значенням буває не зовсім чіткою:

Без “the” (загальна ідея) З “the” (конкретно)
I like working with people. I like the people I work with.

  • I like the people I work with – Мені подобаються ті люди, з якими я працюю (конкретна група людей).

E. Основні правила вживання артикля

Коли не використовуємо “the” Коли використовуємо “the”
Говоримо про людей чи речі загалом: Dogs are friendly. Говоримо про конкретну річ або групу: The dogs in the park are friendly.
