      @LearnEnglishLab  7 років тому +83

      I'm happy to hear that. With directions (north, south, east, west, left, right etc.), we DON'T add 'the' if the word comes after a verb. Ex: "Turn right", "Walk east" etc. But if a direction word comes after a preposition, we use 'the': "the building is on the right", "turn to the left" etc. :)

    • @sahilrajan5917
      @sahilrajan5917 4 роки тому +2

      I hope it is not too late to answer but my guess is that you cannot say 'I don't enjoy watching a horror movie' because the meaning here is you do not like watching horror movies in general and not a specific kind of horror movie. The idea behind the sentence is you do not like watching horror movies; plus as he mentioned that articles can be used only with singular countable nouns, horror movies are plural.

    Hi Ganesh
    Thanks for the amazing videos which you are rolling out quite frequently. I am really enjoying these a lot. Could you please help me in understanding the concept of articles in relation to countable/uncountable nouns and singular/plural nouns. I am really getting confused. Actually I am making few errors while writing essays (preparing for my IELTS General). It would be great if you could please help me in understanding the same.
    Thanks!!
    Akshay Bhandari
