Articles

In English there are three articles: a, an, and the.
Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective.

​

What is that?

​The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader.

THE

The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known. There are certain situations in which a noun takes no article.
