a
, the
, and to
. These are some of the most common words we use, so in this lesson I’m going to teach you how we use these words. I don’t want to look just at grammar; I want you to understand these words and why we use them. If you’re an advanced English student, this will be a great review for you. If you’re a beginner, try to understand this and save yourself years of English mistakes.

Thank you
Done all correct. ☺ James let me know , are these both sentences correct or not. ” Live in the moment or Live in a moment”?
As far as I can tell, “Live in the moment” is the correct expression. It means . . . to give full attention to the situation you are in.
Hope it helps Anne.
Excellent going over of articles James. The tip of the day was also great. Being exposed to authentic language helps a great deal.
As usual, Fantastic video-lesson! Take care!
Hi James,
At 19:20 into video… I have different opinion on what to choose.
The sentence is like explaining to a person about this man. So the person really do not know that man, and later person get the answer.
I really think, because of how explanation is going, there should be “A”, not “the”.
But they both know which man that was.
So there definitely have to be “the”.
These Articles are so little words, yet natives depend so much on them.
You put so much meaning through them, in what you do know, or what you do not.
Thanks James.
This lesson was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks James, this lesson was great
Thanks James! Best regards from Spain!
