Articles 1 There are lots of rules about the use of articles. Here we’ll concentrate on 3 golden rules. Most mistakes with articles are made through breaking one of these rules. 1.

I saw a good film yesterday. … and we use the definite article - the – when we talk about something more certain. I’m going to take the dog for a walk. 3. Birds eat worms.

The first of them, A Crackling of Thorns, was chosen by W. H. Auden in 1958 for the Yale Series of Younger Poets; the most important of them is Spectral Emanations: New and Selected Poems, published in 1978; and the most recent—it coincides with his winning the Bollingen Prize—is Powers of Thirteen, which appeared in 1983.
