This question is based on articles :
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'article' as 'any of the English words "a", "an", and "the", or words in other languages that do the same job as these.'
According to Grammarly, 'The definite article is the word the. It limits the meaning of a noun to one particular thing. For example, your friend might ask, “Are you going to the party this weekend?” The definite article tells you that your friend is referring to a specific party that both of you know about. The definite article can be used with singular, plural, or uncountable nouns.'
According to Grammarly, 'The indefinite article takes two forms. It’s the word a when it precedes a word that begins with a consonant. It’s the word an when it precedes a word that begins with a vowel. The indefinite article indicates that a noun refers to a general idea rather than a particular thing. The indefinite article only appears with singular nouns.'
