Articles In English Language

• There are three articles in English language which are a, an and the.
• We use the article 'a' before common words which do not begin with a vowel sound.
• We use article 'an' before common words that begin with a vowel sound.
• We use article 'the' for specified nouns.
• As a specified counter is being referred to in the sentence, hence 'the' will be the correct article to use.
