3.1 Explain the contrasts in the uses of the definite, the indefinite and the zero articles.

definite equal zero

Explanation:because their are many articles

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The definite article is the word the, used to specify something, such as the trainer is there.

The indefinite articles are a and an, used only for singular. We use a if the next word starts with a consonant sound and an if a vowel sound comes next, such as an apple or a boy.

Finally, zero article or zero determiner refers to a phrase which lacks an article. Some examples of this are plural countable nouns and proper nouns, such as her name is Sarah.
