Summary/Abstract: The paper investigates the order of acquisition and accurate use of English articles by Montenegrin students at three different levels - elementary, high school and university. On the basis of SOC measurement and on the existing classification of English articles (a/an, the, zero), data on article usage were obtained, analyzed and compared. The paper also comments briefly on the difference in English article acquisition byspeakers of other non-article languages, such as Russian, Polish and Chinese who study English.
