USB Connector Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 What is this? A Treeduck thread without a pole, I must say you're getting sloppy. I also thought this thread was going to be about the under appreciated word known as "the". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Janie @ Nov 5 2011, 03:44 PM)I thought this thread was going to be about the word "the." The definite article in English is the, denoting person(s) or thing(s) already mentioned, under discussion, implied, or familiar. It is often used as the very first part of a noun phrase. The article the is used with singular count nouns (the car) and with singular uncountable nouns (the coffee) and plural nouns (the cars) when both the speaker and hearer would know the identity of the thing or idea already. However, in English, unlike in some other languages such as French, the definite article is omitted before familiar but intangible concepts such as "happiness": Happiness is contagious is correct, whereas *the happiness is contagious is not, unless a very specific example of happiness is referred to. the is also omitted when the noun refers to a generic mass object (Coffee grows in Colombia) or to a generic collection of countable objects (Cars have accelerators).
