Question

Fill in the blanks with suitable articles :

(i) Yesterday was .......... best day of my life​

Answer 1

Yesterday was the best day of my life.

• Articles are words that are used with nouns to make noun phrases.
• Articles can be definite or indefinite.
• Definite articles are used to denote something specific. For example: 'the'.
• Indefinite articles are used to denote something non-specific. Example: 'a'- used before consonants or consonant sounding words; 'an'- used before vowels or vowel sounding words.
• In this case, it refers to a specific day and therefore, 'the' is the perfect choice of article.

Answer 2

(i) Yesterday was .......... best day of my life

Answer: Yesterday was the best day of my life.

Explanation:

• Let's explain why 'the' has been used in the blank space.
• Article is divided into two sections, one is definite and other is indefinite articles. 'The' is a definite article. It is used to denote something specific. Examples: The Mahabharata, The Ramayana etc.
• After filling up the blank space with 'the' the given sentence turns into an example of superlative degree. Because 'the' is also used before superlative degree and here superlative degree is 'best'.
