Question

Choose the correct article for the blank.

Please help me clean my _______ apartment.

1. a
2. an
3. the
4. Zero article
5.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Zero article

The correct answer is 'Zero article'.

• In English grammar, the term zero article refers to an occasion in speech or writing where a noun or noun phrase is not preceded by an article (a, an, or the).
• The zero article is also known as the zero determiner.
• For example:
  • She is good at football.
• Similarly, in the given sentence we don't need an article before noun 'apartment.
• Thus, option 4 will be the correct answer.

 

Hence, the correct sentence is: Please help me clean my apartment.

• The words a or an and the are called articles. They come before nouns.
• A or an is indefinite article, because it usually leaves indefinite the person or thing spoken of.
• 'The' is called the definite article, because it normally points out some particular person or thing.
• For example:
  • He is an honest man.
  • He is a European citizen.
  • Let's go to the park.
