Students should keep in mind the below mentioned rules, while using the definite article in English sentences:

When the noun is previously mentioned

When a noun has already been introduced in the conversation or text, use 'the' for subsequent references to that noun. For example: I saw a car. The car was red.

When the noun is unique or known

When there is only one of something in a particular context, or when the listener knows what is being referred to, "the" is used. For example: The sun is shining.

To define or identify the noun

"The" can be used to point out a specific instance of a noun. For example: The book on the table is mine.

The indefinite article in English language is 'the'. It is the most frequently used word in English. We use the definite article before noun that is identified or specified. It refers to the people or things, both singular and plural. For example: The book is on the table.

Business communication is different from general communication and English courses because purpose, context, and formality differ. Business communication is inclined toward professional interactions within a workplace, aimed at achieving specific organizational objectives, while general communication has broader social and personal interactions.

  1. Yes, as a PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) student, you can apply for English (BA Hons. English) at Delhi University (DU) — but you cannot ignore your PCB subjects completely if they were part of your CUET. 

  2. Ensure you included English language + at least 2 other valid subjects in your CUET attempt.
  3. If your CUET only had PCB + English, your merit will be based on those scores—which is allowed.
  4. You cannot exclude or replace PCB marks with other subjects not attempted in CUET.
