a
and an
in an English sentence. Using these articles correctly will dramatically improve your English because they are so frequently used. Many English learners make mistakes because indefinite articles don’t exist in many languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, and Polish. But even if your language doesn’t have them, don’t worry. I’ll explain the clear rules for when you must use indefinite articles. You’ll also see examples of how indefinite articles are used in common speech, so you get a feel for what is right. Let’s get started, so you can master this important part of English grammar!

Dear Jade! In Russian we don’t have articles. In Russian they are not necessary at all! On top of that I’m strongly sure English will evolution towards simplification. In years you will not use articles in English. ?

Dear Jade, in the fourth point related to Religions/Ideologies you neither explained nor referred to the second sentence “They are Hindus”. I can´t understand the use of “a”/ “an” in that specific sentence. Please, could you explain a little more about it?
Thanks in advance.
