Do Now: Explain

What cookie with you get if I told you to pass me a cookie? What cookie would you get if I ask you to pass me the cookie? What is the difference between a and the?

Write a brief explanation

Class Notes:

The difference between definite articles and indefinite articles can be observed in the following two sentences:

 

Give me the chocolate chip cookie.

Give me a cookie, please.

 

The first sentence speaks of a particular (or definite) cookie:

Give me the chocolate chip cookie.

 

The second sentence speaks of any of a number of cookies (or an indefinite cookie):

Give me a cookie, please.

 

The difference between the definite and indefinite articles is the difference between talking about a specific cookie, or any old cookie at all.
