Welcome to your daily dose of English learning! This video is a fantastic resource designed especially for beginners who want to build their reading skills and vocabulary, explained in Hindi for clarity.

📚 What You’ll Learn

  • Short Reading Passage: The video features a concise English text, ideal for beginner to lower‑intermediate learners.

  • Hindi Translation: Every sentence is clearly explained in Hindi, making it easy to grasp grammar and context.

  • Key Vocabulary: Important words and phrases are highlighted, with Hindi meanings and pronunciation guidance.

  • Pronunciation Practice: The narrator reads slowly and clearly, offering a great model for improving your own speaking skills.

✅ Why It Works

  1. Comprehension-First Approach
    By seeing English sentences alongside Hindi explanations, learners build understanding naturally—no need to memorize grammar tables.

  2. Vocabulary in Context
    Learning words as they appear in sentences helps them stick, and the Hindi meanings reinforce retention.

  3. Speaking Gets Better
    Slow, clear pronunciation gives you a solid template to echo, which enhances your accent, fluency, and confidence.

  4. Quick, Daily Friendly
    The bite-sized format makes it easy to include in your daily routine—just a few minutes a day can build up impressive progress.


🚀 How to Use It

  • Watch once all the way through to get the gist.

  • Re‑watch line by line, repeating after the narrator.

  • Pause on new vocab, say them aloud, and perhaps write them in a dedicated notebook.

  • Use the example sentences in your own writing or speaking practice; personalization solidifies memory.


🎯 Sample Breakdown

English Sentence Hindi Explanation Key Word
“I go to school every day.” “मैं हर दिन स्कूल जाता हूँ।” every day
“She reads a book in the evening.” “वह शाम में किताब पढ़ती है।” evening

By analyzing such lines, you naturally absorb structure (“I go,” “she reads”) and vocabulary (“evening,” “every day”).


🌟 Tips to Enhance Learning

  • Speak along with the narrator—don’t just listen.

  • Repeat new words at the end of your study session.

  • Track progress: after one week, rewatch and notice how much easier it feels.

  • Mix it up: combine this with vocabulary apps, journaling, or English conversations.


Final Thoughts

This video offers a simple yet effective way to practice reading and vocabulary daily. With Hindi explanations removing comprehension barriers, beginners can build confidence quickly. The gentle and structured pace encourages regular practice, and repeating along with the speaker is a proven method to internalize both pronunciation and grammar.

Give it a try each morning or evening—you’ll be amazed by your progress in just a few weeks!

DAILY ESL QUIZ 9 ARTICLE ( A, AN & THE)

 Balrampur24     March 12, 2018     An, Articles A, The     No comments   


Many learners of English have problems with articles (the words a, an and the), especially when they don’t exist in their own language. This blog looks at some of the basic rules.
The number one rule is this: if a word is countable (e.g. one book, two books), you must always use an article (or my, his,etc.)
In English there are three articles: a, an, and the. Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective. The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader. The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known. There are certain situations in which a noun takes no article.

Don't Underestimate These Three Little Words

Put simply, an article is a word that combines with a noun. Articles are actually adjectives because they describe the nouns that they precede. In English, there are only three articles: the, a, and an. However, the three are not interchangeable; rather, they are used in specific instances.
The following is some advice from our expert English editing staff regarding how to properly use articles.
The definite article the is the most frequent word in English.
We use the definite article in front of a noun when we believe the hearer/reader knows exactly what we are referring to.
• because there is only one:
The Pope is visiting Russia.
The moon is very bright tonight.
The Shah of Iran was deposed in 1979.
This is why we use the definite article with a superlative adjective:
He is the tallest boy in the class.
It is the oldest building in the town.
• because there is only one in that place or in those surroundings:
We live in a small village next to the church. = (the church in our village)
Dad, can I borrow the car?=(the car that belongs to our family)
When we stayed at my grandmother’s house we went to the beach every day. = (the beach near my grandmother’s house)
Look at the boy in the blue shirt over there. =(the boy I am pointing at)

How do I know which one to use?

That's a very good question. Fortunately, the answer is quite simple. It's about listening to the words you're using. The rule for indefinite article usage is as follows:
Use a before nouns (or adjectives) that start with a consonant sound.
Use an before nouns (or adjectives) that start with a vowel sound.
Here are some examples from our English editing professionals:
Please give the dog a cookie.
(The noun cookie starts with a consonant sound, so a must be used.)
Please give the dog a delicious cookie.
(Our editing professionals have put the adjective delicious in front of cookie, but as you can see, delicious still starts with a consonant sound, so a must still used.)
That's an old car. (In this case, the word after the article is old, which starts with a vowel sound. Consequently, our English editors must use an.)
Remember that you're listening here. This isn't about the letter c or d being a consonant or the letter o being a vowel; it's about the sound they make (i.e., vowel sound or consonant sound). Here's another example that might help you understand:
I need to work for an hour before we go to dinner.
Definite article
the (before a singular or plural noun)
Indefinite article
a (before a singular noun beginning with a consonant sound)
an (before a singular noun beginning with a vowel sound)
Count nouns - refers to items that can be counted and are either singular or plural
Non-count nouns - refers to items that are not counted and are always singular
COUNT NOUNSNON-COUNT NOUNS
Rule #1
Specific identity not known
a, an(no article)
Rule #2
Specific identity known
thethe
Rule #3
All things or things in general
(no article)(no article)
Rule #1 - Specific identity not known: Use the indefinite article a or an only with a singular count noun whose specific identity is not known to the reader. Use a before nouns that begin with a consonant sound, and use an before nouns that begin with a vowel sound.
  • Use the article a or an to indicate any non-specified member of a group or category.
I think an animal is in the garage
That man is a scoundrel.
We are looking for an apartment.
  • Use the article a or an to indicate one in number (as opposed to more than one).
I own a cat and two dogs.
  • Use the article a before a consonant sound, and use an before a vowel sound.
a boy, an apple
◊ Sometimes an adjective comes between the article and noun:
an unhappy boy, a red apple
  • The plural form of a or an is some. Use some to indicate an unspecified, limited amount (but more than one).
an apple, some apples
Rule #2 - Specific identity known: Use the definite article thewith any noun (whether singular or plural, count or noncount) when the specific identity of the noun is known to the reader, as in the following situations:
  • Use the article the when a particular noun has already been mentioned previously.
I ate an apple yesterday. The apple was juicy and delicious.
  • Use the article the when an adjective, phrase, or clause describing the noun clarifies or restricts its identity.
The boy sitting next to me raised his hand.
Thank you for the advice you gave me.
  • Use the article the when the noun refers to something or someone that is unique.
the theory of relativity
the 2003 federal budget
Rule #3 - All things or things in general: Use no article with plural count nouns or any noncount nouns used to mean all or in general.
Trees are beautiful in the fall. (All trees are beautiful in the fall.)
He was asking for advice. (He was asking for advice in general.)
I do not like coffee. (I do not like all coffee in general.)
