A,an and the are known as articles. The words that define a noun as specific or unspecific are known as articles. Articles are of two types, definite article and indefinite article. The article 'the' is definite article and the articles 'a' and 'an' are indefinite articles.  The article 'the' is used for one specific thing. It can be used with singular, plural, or uncountable nouns. The indefinite article gives a general statement or idea. The article 'a' is used before the word which begins with a consonant and the article 'an' is used before the word which begins with a vowel.
