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.
• In the first sentence, as a specific book is being referred to in the sentence, hence article 'the' will be used.
• In the second sentence, as 'interesting' is a common word beginning with a vowel sound, hence article 'an' will be used.
