Explanation:

• "A, an and the" are the three articles in the English language which come before nouns.

• We use the indefinite article "a" before common words which do not start with a sound of the consonant.

• We use the indefinite article "an" before common words which begin with a sound of the vowel.

• We use the definite article "the" for specified or proper nouns.

We omit articles in the below-mentioned conditions:

• (1) Before the names of substances and abstract nouns (i.e. uncountable nouns) are used in a generalised manner

• (2) Before plural countable nouns are used in a general sense

• (3) Before most of the proper nouns namely, names of people, names of continents, countries, cities, etc., names of individual mountains/hills (e.g. Mount Everest), individual islands, lakes, hills, etc.

• (4) Before school, college, university, church, bed, hospital, or prison, when these places are visited or used for their primary purpose.
