This paper explores the practical use of articles in English grammar, focusing on the correct application of
the definite article (the), indefinite articles (a/an), and the zero article in everyday communication. It highlights the rules,
exceptions, and contextual meanings of article usage, which are essential for achieving clarity and precision in both
spoken and written English. The study emphasizes common learner difficulties and suggests effective strategies for mastering
article use through practice-based approaches such as reading, real-life examples, and contextual exercises. This
topic is particularly important for ESL learners aiming to enhance their grammatical competence and fluency in real-world
interactions.
