The Hague.

Some 2 days ago an Englishman complained to me that (pre-intermediate) Polish
learners of English tend to never use articles, but one place they're sure to
put the defined article is before the names of the towns and cities :).

I'll be the devil's advocate!

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 people be chokeing or bitting their tounges, because of the lack
of fill in words (articles)?

really need to explain the importance of articles'???

I think you should not delete that, because non-english speakers really have a
point, why use articles? To me it seems that englisman and americans use it
because other ways it would be a tounge twister for them...

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
