Помогите,пожалуйста,поставить артикли a,the или -1) ... marmalade is... kind off... jam made from... oranges and... lemons2) ...ladybirds are... small red insects with... black spots

Answer 1

1) Marmalade is a kind of jam made from oranges and lemons.
2) Ladybirds are small red insects with black spots.

Answer 2

1) Marmalade is a kind of jam made from oranges and lemons. In this sentence, "marmalade" is specified as a specific type of jam made from oranges and lemons. Therefore, we use the indefinite article "a" before "kind." Additionally, "oranges" and "lemons" are plural nouns, so we do not use any articles before them.

2) Ladybirds are small red insects with black spots. In this sentence, "ladybirds" is a general term for a type of insect. Therefore, we do not use any articles before "ladybirds." "Small" and "red" are descriptive adjectives, so we also do not use any articles before them. However, "spots" is a plural noun, so we use the definite article "the" before "black spots."
