what are articles?
Articles are words such as English "the" and "a", which combine with a noun to form a noun phrase. Articles typically specify grammatical definiteness of the noun phrase, but in many languages they carry additional grammatical information such as gender, number, and case.
now let's study about 'a' 'an' and 'the' in detail:-
'a' and 'an'
we usually “a” before words that start with a consonant sound and “an” before words that start with a vowel sound.
'A' and 'An' are also called indefinite articles
- A countable noun used in the singular takes 'a' or 'an' before it.
- a countable noun cannot be used in plural.
- an uncountable noun cannot take "a" or "an" before it.
what is "the"
we should Use "the" with any noun when the meaning is specific.
