Development of english language

Whenever word frequencies are reported for English, the articles account for almost ten per cent of most texts. It would seem to be hard to make sense of how English works without understanding the role of these common forms. There is distinction between the indefinite article (a or an) and the definite article (the). There is also a high percentage of nouns occurring without any article, or with what is called zero article ( ).
For easier understanding it was “invented” An Article Machine, in which you can insert any noun and, by making a number of choices, create a noun phrase containing the correct article. It looked like this:

Introduction ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….… 2
The Definite Article ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 3
The Omission of the Definite Article ……………………………………………………………………………...5
The Indefinite Article ……………………………………………………………………………………………………. 8
The omission of the Indefinite Article …………………………………………………………………………… 9
