Question

Articles :
1. ______ man is mortal.
what article comes in there?​

Answer 1

No article comes for 'Man is mortal'. -This is the answer.

Explanation:

• Articles are of three kinds -'a', 'an' (indefinite article) and 'the' (definite article).
• 'A' is used before a singular noun and before the consonant sounds of letters. For example, 'a cat', 'a bike', 'a doctor', etc.,
• 'An' is used before a singular noun and before the vowel sounds of letters. For example, 'an apple', 'an egg', 'an ox', etc.,
• 'The' is an article that can be used before singular and plural nouns. If it is used before singular nouns, the it means it talks about a specific thing/ person. For example, 'the boy', 'the car', 'the egg that broke', etc.,
• 'Man is mortal,' is  a generalised truth. It never changes and we are not talking about some man or any man. So we cannot use 'a' and 'the'.
• Therefore the answer is: Man is mortal.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer of this question is no article is needed here.

Explanation:

Let us first discuss what is article. So, an article is used to indicate noun. Now we talk about articles then there are three types of article i.e. 'a , an, the'. We use 'a' article before the words whose first letter sound is consonant . We use 'an' article before the words whose first letter sound is vowel and in English alphabet there are five vowels i.e. A, E, I, O, U. We use 'the' article when the identity is known or specific.

Sometimes, in some sentences there is no need of articles and same is happening with us in this question. There is no need of article because the statement is very generic i.e. Man is mortal.

Hence, no article is needed in this question.
