No Pains No Gains! Popular wisdom 
Hello, guys! Today we

continue dealing with the biggest absurdity of English grammar ─ articles.
The use of the articles is one of the most difficult points in the language. Fortunately, most article mistakes do not matter to much. Even if we leave all the articles out of a sentence, it can usually be understood.
However, it’s better to use the articles correctly if possible. (popular wisdom again)

So, let’s start… Let’s start with a history exam paper of one

really smart guy

The Egyptians were an ancient race of Caucasians residing in one of the northern sections of Africa. The latter as we all know is the largest continent in the Eastern Hemisphere.
The Egyptians are extremely to us today for various reasons. Modern science would still like to know what the secret ingredients were that the Egyptians used when they wrapped up dead people so that their faces would not rot for innumerable centuries…
[Holden Caulfield. “The Cather in the Rye” by J.D.Salinger]
