Grammar: articles and other determiners in noun phrases
In the first four sentences of part 5, why is that article used?
1 the world - There’s only one of this thing (so it’s specific).
2 __ banks - It’s about banks in general, not some particular banks.
3 the interactive voice system - The reference is already known. They mentioned the system before.
4 a new cell phone banking plan - This is the first reference to this thing (there could be other plans).
---
“the” = Both the speaker and the listener know which one(s) the sentence is about.
If one or both people doesn’t know which one(s), you cannot use “the”.
“a”/“an” = Singular count noun, and one or both of us doesn’t know which one the sentence is about.
	a - before consonant sounds: a tomato, a university, a one-way street, a USB memory stick
	an - before vowel sounds: an apple, an hour, an honest person, an mp3 player
- (zero article) = It’s not specific (so you can’t use “the”) and it’s not singular (so you can’t use a/an).
	general: Many people don’t have access to banks.
	particular: I bought (some) bananas yesterday.

“every” and “each” are singular: Every student is here. Each person needs a book.
“all” is plural (or noncount): All the students are here. All people need books. All sugar is delicious.

Grammar: passive voice (in all tenses)
passive = [be] + past participle
- We can use it in all tenses. Just replace the main verb with the correct form of “be” and then put the past participle of the main verb.
---

	(“people” is the agent of this sentence, and it’s not always necessary to include in passive)

Romans might have used cosmetics. -> Cosmetics might have been used by Romans.
Someone will buy it tomorrow. -> It will be bought tomorrow.
