Los artículos "the", "a",  y "an"

"the" = en singular y plural se escribe igual, significa "el, la, los, las".

Ex:   

the car (de car) (el carro).

the cars (de cars) (los carros).

Pero, su pronunciación cambia de acuerdo a estas reglas:

A) si la escritura o pronunciación del sustantivo empieza con consonante, se pronuncia "de":

Ex:             

the car (de car) (el carro).

the sister (de sister) (la hermana).

the union (de jiunion) (la unión).

the chair (de che..r) (la silla).

the university (de jiuniversity) (la universidad).

B) si la escritura o pronunciación del sustantivo empieza con vocal, se pronuncia "di":

Ex:             

the ocean (di oshean) (el océano).

the idea (di aidia) (la idea).

the hour (di aur) (la hora).

the "m" (di "em") (la "eme").

C) "the" se usa cuando se especifica algo acerca del sustantivo, si no se especifica algo, por lo regular "the" no se pone, pero si se traduce:

Ex:  

Death (ded) (la muerte).

People (pi..pl) (la gente).

The boy in the house (de bois in de jaus) (los niños en la casa).

The people from cos. ver. City is nice (de pi...pl from cos. Ver. City is nais) (la gente de la ciudad de Cos. Ver. es agradable)

"a" y "an" = sus pronunciaciones son como se escriben cada una, significan "un o una", pero sus usos también dependen de las siguientes reglas:

1) se usa "an", cuando la escritura o pronunciación del sustantivo o palabra empieza con vocal:

Ex:  

an article (an articl) (un articulo).

an honest man (an onest man) (un hombre honesto)

an hour (an aur) (una hora).

an "m"(an "em") (una "eme").

2) se usa "a", cuando la escritura o pronunciación del sustantivo o palabra empieza con consonante:

Ex:  

a chair (a che..r) (una silla).

a student (a student) (un estudiante).

a house (a jaus) (una casa).

a union (a jiunion) (una union).

3) "a" y "an", se usan frecuentemente en frases donde no se especifique algo acerca del sustantivo:

Ex:      

a new idea (a niu aidia) (una nueva idea).

watch a movie (wuatch a muvi) (mira una película).

Por lo tanto, una acción la identificamos, en una frase, cuando se escribe en su forma infinitiva o cuando va junto a una persona:

Ex:     

To work is easy (to work is i..si) (trabajar es fácil).

To open a box  (to oupen a box) (abrir una caja).

I work (ai work) (yo trabajo).

She opens (shi oupens) (ella abre).

Pero, si la palabra va junto a un artículo, entonces sabremos que se trata de un sustantivo:

Ex: 

the work here in U. S. A. is hard (de work jir in iu. Es. Ei. Is jard) (el trabajo aquí en usa es dificil)             

a watch in the wood (a wuatch in de wud) (una mirada en el bosque)
