Exercise Language: Articles

Serbian Grammar has an intriguing structure when it comes to articles. Unlike English, Serbian language does not have definite or indefinite articles (“the”, “a”, “an”). This lack of articles is due to the fact that the Serbian language uses context, noun declensions, and the placement of words within a sentence to convey the information that articles usually provide in other languages. Consequently, learners must practice different exercises to familiarally understand this language. It involves rigorous translation exercises from Serbian to English and vice versa, allowing one to appreciate the role of context in Serbian grammar. Additionally, sentence rearrangement exercise helps in comprehending the importance of the word order. Word inflection exercises where nouns are declined in different cases, numbers and genders also assist in mastering the language. All these exercises are intended not just to grasp the concept of nonexistence of articles but also to acquire sound fluency in Serbian grammar.
