⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий hace 7 años

Thank you, I had dictated it into the phone)))

Michael Petrovдобавил комментарий hace 7 años

welcome)

Michael Petrovдобавил комментарий hace 7 años

Won't it be rude if I ask one question about your sentence grammar? I learn prepositions right now. Why do you use THE in "Thank you, I had dictated it into THE phone)))" and not A?

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий hace 7 años

First of all, THE and A are articles, not prepositions. I said THE phone because it’s MY phone - not just any phone 😉

*Would it be rude of me to ask you about the grammar in your sentence?

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий hace 7 años

*I’m learning about prepositions at the moment.

*Why did you use...

Misha, you can ask me about anything anytime and I’m happy to help.

Michael Petrovдобавил комментарий hace 7 años

thanks for your answer and you correction, but I still have a question if I may

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий hace 7 años

Absolutely

Michael Petrovдобавил комментарий hace 7 años

I see information about your phone for the first time, I don't hear about it earlier . So that's by rules it should be with A. Yes, you know about your own phone, it's yours, but I see it for the first time. I don't understand)))

Michael Petrovдобавил комментарий hace 7 años

For example I have a table (It's mine, but you don't know about it). And I say I have a table.

Michael Petrovдобавил комментарий hace 7 años

Then I add the table is red (you already know about my table)

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий hace 7 años

There are certain things that we assume that all people have and one of those is a phone. If you said A phone, it would sound like you were talking about someone else’s phone.

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий hace 7 años

We don’t assume that everyone has a table, so you would say A table the first time you mention it.

Michael Petrovдобавил комментарий hace 7 años

If someone would speak English without any articles would it be understandable?

Michael Petrovдобавил комментарий hace 7 años

It is very complicated))

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий hace 7 años

Yes, in fact sometimes we don’t use articles in short messages or signs - we call it “telegraphic English” - “Please use rear door to enter lobby”

Michael Petrovдобавил комментарий hace 7 años

And in titles of articles I very often see the lack of articles

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий hace 7 años

Misha, context is everything. When we talk about things that people expect us to have, we use MY or THE: I have to replace my phone/pick up the kids/call my wife/wash the car/paint the house...

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий hace 7 años

Yes, in titles they often use telegraphic English

Michael Petrovдобавил комментарий hace 7 años

yes, but how we, english speaking learners, should guess the context. It is obvious for you, but it hasn't strict rules, and if we follow the strict rules we have, our English will be understood in the false meaning. Because in my grammar book I have an example that "Mr ... has a wife. His wife ... The woman..." But by context there should be the wife. Or not, the context is too эфемерно.
well, anyway thank you for your help!

No problem.
