- Have you seen _ Tom today?
Question 1:
Have you seen _ Tom today? A. a
B. an
C. the
D. —
Feedback Usually we use the zero article (no article) before the name of an individual person: Claude Monet is my favourite painter. But be attentive, we should use ‘the’ when there are two people with the same name to specify which one we mean: That’s not the Stephano Periccelli who I worked with in New York.In the test sentence ‘Have you seen _ Tom today?’ we are given the name of a particular person –Tom. And we don’t distinguish him from someone else who has the same name. Therefore, we are to choose ANSWER 4 (-).
These questions are from this test. Would you like to take a practice test?
