e.g. an engineer, an apple, an umbrella, an hour.

2. Невизначений артикль використовується перед обчислювальними іменниками у однині (a road), визначений артикль вживається з обчислювальними та необчислювальними іменниками у однині та множині.

3. Невизначений артикль вживають, коли мова йде про людину, предмет, місце і т. ін. взагалі, або якщо про нього вперше сказали. Визначений артикль вживають, коли мова йде про людину, предмет, місце і т.ін. унікальне, єдине, або співрозмовники знають, про що йде мова.
