<!-- AUDIO REFERENCE: Sophie: Oh, hi Tom! I'm Sophie. I'm a developer. -->

--description--

Identify how articles change the context of a sentence. Articles, like the and a, can change the meaning of a sentence. The talks about something specific. A talks about something in general. For example:

  • Tom is a graphic designer in our company means there are many graphic designers and Tom is one of them.

  • Tom is the graphic designer of our company means there is only one person in the company matching this description (that's Tom).

Notice that, after graphic designer, there are details that made the situation more specific. In this company, there's only one person that could fit the profile - Tom.

--questions--
