The indefinite article is the word "a"
or "an." It is used before a noun to
define it as something non-specific.
We use an indefinite article in
English when:
We refer to something for the
first time
We refer to a general thing, and
not something specific
We describe a person’s
profession
AG
RE N
ZI
We use both ‘a’ and ‘an’ in
the same way but we use ‘a’
in front of a consonant, and
‘an’ in front of a vowel
(a,e,i,o,u).
For example:
There’s a cat in the
garden!
I need a stamp for this
letter.
We need an apple and an
orange for the fruit salad

TH E
The definite article the is the
most frequent word in
English.
We use the definite article in
front of a noun when we
believe the listener/reader
knows exactly what we are
referring to:
because there is only
one:
Ex:

The moon is very bright
tonight.
Who is the president of
France?
We also use the definite article
to say something about all
the things referred to by a
noun

service
