Articles
Hi there, as you might have already guessed I need some help with articles. But I do not mean that basic stuff like a is used when a listener does not know what you are talking about and the is used when he knows. I need something that goes into the finest details (for example when I was writing an essay I did not use the in the phrase 'the desired result') so I need something that explains the usage of articles in much more detail (some long document would be really appreciated) since all I am doing right now is really just guessing them. Thanks a lot for help.

I hope that someone can furnish you with some good references. I assume you have done the obvious Internet searches. When it comes to fine details of article usage, I think the best long-term strategy is to use experience and "feel" rather than trying to learn an intricate set of rules and apply these to each individual situation.

- One thing to bear in mind is that, apart from special idiomatic expressions which must be individually learned, and apart from abbreviated styles such as are used for headlines or notes, singular countable nouns always need some kind of determiner.

It's been my experience that articles are the very last thing to fall in place before a writer sounds like a native speaker.
