1.       Epistemic (relating to speculation): Expresses possibility, probability, and certainty

Interrogative sentences in English begin with an auxiliary verb, a modal verb, or a "wh-" question word, followed by the subject and the main verb. The sentence ends with a question mark. This structure can be altered in few different ways, which are:

Interrogative sentences in English are the questions that are asked in conversations, to seek information. They also serve as a way to seek explanation, ensure understanding or confirm if something is true or not. Interrogative sentences generally start with question words like "what," "where," "when," "why," "how” and end with a question mark.

There are certain cases in which articles are generally omitted. In total, there are about ten such scenarios where we do not use any article in front of certain words. Some of these exceptions are as follows:

  • When talking about abstract nouns (uncountable nouns) used in a generic sense
  • Before plural nouns used in a general sense
  • In front of most of the proper nouns, such as names, places, countries, continents, etc.
  • Before the name of meals.

In a very basic sense, 'a' is used as a prefix to words that start with a consonant, while 'an' is used for vowels.

  • Example: He lives only a mile away from the office.
  • Example: An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

This rule also applies when a word starts with a consonant/ vowel sound, such as an hour, a university, etc. This stands true to acronyms as well, for example, a UFO, an HR department, etc.

In English grammar, articles are words ("a," "an," and "the") that are prefixes to nouns and are used to indicate whether the noun is specific or general. As these are used before speaking about the noun, articles can also be considered as adjectives to a certain degree. There are two types of articles; Definite and Indefinite.

In English grammar, there are two types of articles; Definite and Indefinite. The two types include three articles i.e., A/ AN and The. While 'the' is termed a definite article, 'a' and 'an' are called indefinite articles. Some examples for both cases can be seen below:

  • He is such a sweet baby.
  • She has the voice of an angel when she sings.
  • The moon looks especially beautiful today.
