Answers
Answer:
There are two types of articles:- definite article (the) and indefinite articles (a, an). We usually use indefinite articles first to mention a person or a thing. By doing so, we don’t have to be clear about which particular person or thing we are referring to. When we refer to the same person or thing again, we use the definite article the to indicate the person or thing already mentioned. There are times when we don’t have to use any one of the articles. Such non-use of the article is called zero articles.
We use “the’:
only before person, place or thing:-the Pope, the President of India, the North Pole, the earth, the sky.
before names of famous buildings:-the Red Fort, the Great Wall of China, The Taj Mahal
before a singular noun that refers to a whole class or group of people or things the middle class, the homeless, the Hindus, the Sikhs
before special names of rivers, seas, oceans, mountain ranges, groups of islands the Nile, the Dead Sea, the Andaman and Nicobar islands, the Himalayas.
before names of holy books The Ramayana, The Gita
before names of newspapers and magazines The Tribune, The India Today
before superlative degree of adjectives the best, the greatest
before heavenly bodies the moon, the sun, the earth, the sky
before abbreviations the UK, the ICICI
before name of inventions Who invented the aeroplane?

before abstract nouns Man is Mortal.
before names of meals I am very fond of eating Rice and Dal.

before the word one because one sounds as if it begins with a W (wun) a one way street, a one-eyed monster, a one-year course, a one-week holiday, etc.
The indefinite article a also means one. We can use ‘a’ or ‘one’ as follow:
He keeps a/one dozen snakes as pets.
I have told you a/one hundred times to leave me alone!
We use an
before a noun which begins with a vowel sound They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
before a singular noun (person or thing) to mean only one in quantity She’s an only child.
