    This document provides information on using articles (a, an, the) in English and discusses some exceptions. It explains that "a" and "an" are used the first time you mention something unspecified, while "the" is used the second or third time to refer to something specific. Proper nouns like countries usually do not take articles, except for some exceptions like the United States. Superlatives always take "the" and there is no article used with general plural nouns or when only one item is present.
