Question

This is ( a, an, the ) pen I bought yesterday.​

Answer 1

Answer:

this is the pen i bought yesterday

Answer 2

This is the pen I bought yesterday.

Explanation:

1. There is a sentence given in the question and we are asked to determine the article that is suitable in the given sentence. The appropriate article is 'the'. Therefore, the complete sentence will be: This is the pen I bought yesterday.

2. Article 'the' is appropriate in the given sentence because here the speaker is talking about a particular or specific pen, that is, 'the pen which he bought yesterday'. 'The' is used when the noun in the sentence is specific. Here, 'pen' is specific and hence 'the' is appropriate.

3. Articles 'a' and 'an' are not suitable in the sentence given because these articles are used for singular nouns that are not specific. Whereas 'the' can be used both for singular as well as plural definite nouns.

4. Article can be defined as short word used in sentences to define a noun or to indicate whether the noun is specific or not. 'A', 'an' and 'the' are the three articles.

5. Article 'a' is used before singular nouns which begins with the sound of any consonant letter. E.g: a book. And article 'an' is used before singular indefinite nouns which starts with the sound of any vowel letter. E.g: an hour, an apple.
