Question

...... youngest brother is at .......school now ( supply a,an ,some or the)

Answer 1

The youngest brother is at the school now.

• The English language consists of the indefinite articles 'a, an' and the definite article 'the'.

• We use article 'the' to refer to specified or proper nouns.
• In the sentence above, as a specific brother and a specific school is being referred hence the correct article to be used will be 'the' in both of the blanks.

Answer 2

Answer:

The youngest brother is at the school now.

Explanation :

• Superlative Degree takes the before it. Here Superlative Degree is 'youngest', that's why 'the' has been used before it. Its positive degree is 'young' and its comparative degree is 'younger'.

• Next 'the' before 'school' is indicating a specific place and it is school. He is in the school now. Now we can understand that 'the' can be used before a Superlative Degree and also to mean something particularly.

• The above sentence is written in simple present tense, be verb 'is' confirms it.

• Example : The youngest sister is at the airport now.
