Articles in English are not there for decoration, they tell us extra information about a noun. The indefinite article a/an tells us that something is singular, but not a particular thing which we have spoken about before. In many cases it is synonymous with “any”.

Answer:

The , an and a are articles in English.

Explanation:

The is an article that is definite; or tells us that in that sentence we are talking about a particular object. While a and an talks about a common or general subject.

It is the same difference between a pronoun and a noun,

For example : when I say " I just ate a cookie" , we are talking about a general subject, i.e , nothing is specific about the cookie.

But when I say, "I just ate the cookie mom made" , I am thinking about a specific subject- as It wasn't just any cookie, but the cookie that mom made.

Example 2 : ' I saw an old man ' -We are talking about any old man.

                     ' I saw the old man'- This line tells us that , I know this old man and it wasn't just any old man like before.

Usually, we use the in a sentence after we describe the subject with a or an.

-' I bought an apple yesterday.Today,I cut the apple in half.
