I thought it would be interesting to hear what native english speakers have
to say about use of articles. Why do you use them? Because for people to
who'm english is a second language seems that english use articles because
otherwise they would have to twist their tounges....

No kidding!! When I started studying english, an articles such as "the",
or "an" seemed to me useless and not needed. Of course now, after years of
living in USA I know better; articles make speech smoother and more fluent.
But the fact is that for most Poles it seems "useless", given that by itself
it has no use.
But seriously what would happen if where was no articles in the spoken
english, would englisman be chokeing or bitting their tounges, because of the
lack of fill in words (articles)?
