Let's learn more about articles:-

The articles in English are the definite article the and the indefinite articles a and an. The definite article is used when the speaker believes that the listener knows the identity of the noun's referent.

Where to use articles:-

The way to know which article to use is if the noun starts with a vowel (the letters 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o' or 'u') it will use 'an'. If it starts with any consonant however, then you will use 'a'. There are some exceptions to the rule of always using 'a' before consonants and 'an' before vowels.

• vowel letters:- a,e,i,o,u
• consonant letters:- all other letters except vowels.
