Hay Guys,
Our Question is Articles.

So,
ANSWER is
Articles play an important role in the way sentences are framed. There exist myriad variations in their usage across languages. Let us have a quick look at how articles function within the English language.

Note that the rules discussed in here are the ones which are generally applicable. There exist certain exceptions which have to be dealt with on a case to case basis.

Articles are words which are used to provide specificity to nouns or noun phrases. As a result articles are placed before nouns and noun phrases in sentences.

Note:  Noun phrases are group of words which include a head noun and its modifiers. Modifiers are words which cause an addition or restriction in the meaning of other words with whom they are used. Noun phrases perform the functions of a noun in a sentence.

For instance, in the sentence ‘The blue dress is pretty’, the words ‘blue dress’ constitute a noun phrase. 

The difference between use of ‘a’ and ‘an’: ‘A’ is used before words which begin with consonants. ‘An’ is used before words which begin with a vowel or vowel sound.
