Answer 2

She is a friend of my father.

The word that has been used above is an article.

In the English language, there are three articles. They are as follows-

1. An
2. A
3. The

• 'An' is an article that is used before the vowels. There are five vowels in the English language, a, e, i, o, and u.

For example, an ant, an eggplant, an electrician, and so on.

• 'A' is an article that is used before the consonants. Consonants are all the English alphabets except the vowels.

For example, a plant, a tree, a yak, and so on.

• 'The' is an article that is used before objects that have already been mentioned and are being spoken about the particular object again. It is also used before universal truths and objects that are only one in the universe.

For example, the Sun, the museum, the Taj Mahal, and so on.
