GRAMMAR / Definite and Indefinite Articles

Student Worksheet
Name: _______________________
A. Read the following paragraph and circle the correct article. If no article is necessary,
circle .
Imagine you are at (1.) a / the / conference on (2.) a / the / artificial
intelligence. Suddenly you realize you are about to bump into someone, but (3.) a
/ the / person, just at (4.) a / the / last moment, gracefully dodges you. You
start to apologize as this person turns to face you, but you rudely cut your own
apology short when you realize this person is actually (5.) a / the / robot. (6.) A
/ The / robot, however, continues with its polite apology before moving on.
Does (7.) a / the / robot have (8.) a / the / better developed social
skills than you? Its apology sounds completely sincere even though (9.) a / the /
near collision couldnt have been (10.) a / the / robots fault; it has been
equipped with (11.) a / the / laser and sonar components which sense (12.) a /
the / distance and steer it away from (13.) a / the / people and things. In
addition, it is hoped that this type of (14.) a / the / robot will be programmed to
socialize with (15.) a / the / people. In other words, it will be able to recognize
and ask (16.) a / the / people relevant questions based on (17.) a / the /
previously collected information. So, imagine yourself in the same situation. What
reaction would you have? Would you offer (18.) an / the / apology?
