What are articles?

A, An, The are known as articles.

Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific.

There are two kinds of Articles:-

1. Definite Articles
2. Indefinite Articles

$\large{\underline{ \tt{ \pink{Definite \: Articles:- }}}}$

Article 'The' is known as definite article. It is so because it is written before a word which is determined and particular.

For example:- The Taj Mahal is in Agra.

Here Taj Mahal is only one and is particularly determined. So, here we will use 'The' only.

$\large{\underline{ \tt{ \purple{InDefinite \: Articles:- }}}}$

Articles 'a, an' are known as Indefinite article. It is so because it is written before a word where its identity is not known.

For example:- I'm a good dancer.
