Explanation:

The English language contains two articles: the and a/an. The refers to specific or particular nouns, whereas a/an modifies non-specific or non-particular nouns. The definite article is known as the definite article, while a/an is known as the indefinite article.

A AND AN INDEFINITE ARTICLES

• The use of A and an depend on the sound of another word, "a" single noun that begins with a consonant: a boy but an elephant "an" single noun starting with the sound of the vowel

• If an adjective modifies the noun, the decision between a and an is determined by the beginning sound of the adjective that directly addresses the article.
• Remember that in English, the indefinite articles are used to show group membership

DEFINITE ARTICLE: THE

• When a noun is special or particular, the definite article is used before the singular and plural nouns.
• The article can be used with noncount nouns

Answer 2

Answer:

• What is the price of the book?

• I need a glass of water.
• I went to see the Red Fort.
• I want an apple.

Explanation:

An article is an eminent part of grammar as it helps to determine the subject or noun or pronoun in a specific sentence. It is mainly of three types, they are as follows:-

• The
• A
• An.

The is used to determine proper nouns or any specific subject in a sentence. An is used before any words that are starting with a vowel. A is used to determine common nouns or collective nouns or anything of this sort.

1. In the abovementioned sentence, we used "the" as we were talking about the specific price of the book.
2. We used "a" because we asked for water but did not specify the object.
3. "The" is used because of the presence of the proper noun in the sentence.
4. "An" is used before vowels so we used it before the word "apple".
