Answer 1

Answer:

Articles is placed before a noun and if there's a adjective before a noun, the article is placed before the adjective.

A and an can be used before countables in singular number.

A is used before countable and singular number beginning with a consonant sound whereas an is is used at the beginning of A vowel sound ( a,e,i,o,u).

A and an are called indefinite articles where as the is called definite article.

The is used before a noun whenever we want to make it particular.
