Articles – an article is an adjective. Like adjectives, articles modify nouns. There are three articles: A, AN, THE. We use A - if the first letter of the noun is consonant. AN- is used if the first letter of the noun is vowel. THE – can be used wether the noun starts with covel or consonant as long as it is a definite noun.
