This page is one of four subsections of the articles category and focuses on worksheets about mixed articles. If your students need practice deciding when to use or not use definite or indefinite articles, this is the section you are looking for. There are now 48 worksheets that focus especially on this topic. For a straightforward worksheet look at this which consists of just eighteen practice sentences. It is pretty neutral in design so could even be used for adult beginners. Mixed article worksheets are a great way to test overall comprehension of articles because there is enough variety in the sentences that students have to really understand the rules of article uses to make correct choices. Practicing just definite or indefinite articles is a good starting point but do not move on until students can correctly decide to use a, an, the, or no article at all to complete sentences. This is something you should include in your beginner courses and if you introduce vocabulary with articles, for example a book, your students will be much better off.
