Articles in English Grammar

• There are three articles in English Grammar : a, an and the.
• We use the article 'a' before common words that do not begin with a vowel sound.
• We use article 'an' before common words that begin with a vowel sound.
• We use article 'the' for proper nouns.
• As 'bad ' is common word and does not begin with a vowel sound hence article 'a' will be used.
