The subject I am going to present today is an indispensable part of English grammar as it is concerned with article use. As it is well known, article use has always been a challenge for the Russian learners of English. It is generally believed that the excessive use of the-forms of nouns is one of common mistakes of the Russian learners’ of English. So, the-forms of nouns present particular difficulty. However, they can cause problems not only for the Russian learners, but for a wide range students, as O. Jespersen formulated its peculiarity in the following way: the definite article “is used more sparingly in English than in many other languages; it is used chiefly when the word without it would not be easily understood as sufficiently specialized.” Therefore, this accounts for influencing the noun referent and narrowing it to the utmost, which we are going to analyze.
