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.

This is something you will learn with time and practice. Your version should be different in structure but match in meaning. If you can swap your paraphrase back with the original and nothing changes in meaning then it's apt.

No. Paraphrasing is more than synonym replacement. You need to change sentence structure, grammar, and vocabulary while preserving the meaning.

While these AI tools can help, relying solely on them is risky as sometimes it might change the whole meaning and the context as these AI tools change words without maintaining meaning. Manual paraphrasing improves comprehension and learning, also during the examination, you will not get access to AI tools.
