1 Read the texts and decide which of these did NOT use to be considered attractive in the past.
a suntan
b being slim
c a muscular body
2 Think Back! Complete rules 1-3 with a, the or and match them with examples a-e.
1 We use — with plurals or uncountable nouns.
2 We use the when it is something unique and when we mention the same noun for the second time.
3 We use a with singular countable nouns when it is one of many.
a Coco Chanel fell asleep in the sun.
b Queen Elizabeth started a fashion …
c … the fashion spread …
d They wore tights or stockings.
e They could afford good food.
Work it out

4 Now match your answers in Exercise 3 to the rules in the box below.
Articles — general statements
1 When we talk about things or people in general we use a plural or uncountable noun with no article (0).
2 We can also use a singular countable noun with a/an. It means any/all.
3 We can use a singular countable noun with the to refer to an invention/idea in general statements
5 Look at the rules below. Then find underlined words in the texts that match each rule.
Articles — general uses
We generally use: a/an with occupations
the with nouns preceded by superlative adjectives and ordinal numerals: centuries and decades: historical periods
no article with continents: countries: abstract nouns
Mind the trap!
1 Generally all singular countable nouns need an article.
