Explanation:
English has only two articles: the and a/an. The is used to denote specific or particular nouns; a/an is used to change non-specific or non-particular nouns. We call "the" the definite article and "a/an" the indefinite article. For example, if I say, "Let's read the book," I mean a specific book.
An article is any member of a class of dedicated words that are used with noun phrases to mark the identifiability of the referents of the noun phrases. The category of articles constitutes an element of speech. In English, both "the" and "a/an" are articles, which combine with nouns to make noun phrases.
