Articles:    

There are two kinds of articles in English grammar.    

1) Definite article (The):    

• The definite article "The" is used before a singular noun that is a specific or particular noun.

2) Indefinite article (A/An):    

• Article "A" is used before an unspecific singular noun that begins with a consonant sound.  

• Article "An" is used before an unspecific singular noun that begins with a vowel sound.

Answer 2

Answer:

He is ________ man who stole my bicycle : Choose suitable determiner --- a an the that.

• The above sentence is said to choose the suitable determiner from the given options a, an, the, that.

• And the right option is : the. So the complete sentence is : He is the man who stole my bicycle.

• Determiners determine nouns by identifying and quantifying. Therefore determiners are of two kinds, one is called Identifiers and other is Quantifiers.

• 'The' is the Definite Article. It is placed before a Noun ( generally a Countable Noun ) to indicate a definite or particular person or thing. That's why 'the' is appropriate for the blank space.

• 'A, an' are General Determiners and 'the' and 'that' are Specific Determiners.
