Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Articles online exercise for grade 1
Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to decide whether to use “the” or no article (meaning we leave the blank empty).

Remember:
- Use “the” when talking about something specific or already known.
- Use no article with meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) when speaking in general — unless there’s an adjective describing it, then sometimes we use “a” or “the”, but here we only choose between “the” and no article.

Also note: For things like “lunch bell”, “dinner at home”, etc., think if it’s specific or general.

---

1. Shall we have ______ dinner at eight?
→ “Dinner” is a meal, used generally → no article

2. Can we have spaghetti for ______ dinner?
→ Again, “dinner” as a meal → no article

3. I had a cup of coffee for ______ breakfast.
→ “Breakfast” as a meal → no article

4. Would you like to have ______ dinner at home or shall we go out?
→ Still referring to dinner as a meal → no article

5. I had toast and coffee for ______ breakfast today.
→ Meal again → no article

6. Have you had ______ lunch yet?
→ General meal → no article

7. He cooked ______ most amazing dinner.
→ “Most amazing” makes it specific/superlative → needs “the”

8. The children can’t leave the classroom until ______ lunch bell rings.
→ “Lunch bell” is specific — there’s usually one lunch bell → “the”

9. I had ______ breakfast in a café yesterday.
→ Just saying what meal they ate → no article

10. Did I tell you about ______ delicious lunch that we had in Paris?
→ “Delicious lunch” + “that we had in Paris” = specific lunch → “the”
