Articles 5

Post by Hela »

Dear teacher,

Here is my last list of sentences on articles:

21) Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.

22) Do you prefer a book of X poetry or some stories of adventure?

23) I want a tin of X peaches, some sugar, and a pound of X raspberry jam.

24) The clouds over the sea are lovely today.

25) Maisie travelled in a second-class carriage with some Americans.

Your patience is very much appreciated. Many thanks.

Dear Alan,

As for sentence 22), is also possible to say:

Do you prefer a book of X poetry or X stories of adventure?
instead of :
Do you prefer a book of X poetry or some stories of adventure?

Many thanks,
Hela
