 ARTICLE
WHAT IS AN ARTICEL
an article is a short monosyllabic word that
is used to define if the noun is specific or
not. articles are normally used before nouns
and since they are used to speak about the
noun, they can be considered as adjectives.
DEFINITIO
An article, according to the Merriam-Webster

N Dictionary, is defined as “any of a small set of

words or affixes (such as a, an, and the) used
with nouns to limit or give definiteness to the
application.” According to the Collins Dictionary,
“an article is a kind of determiner. In English, ‘a’
and ‘an’ are called the indefinite article, and
‘the’ is called the definite article.”
 TYPES OF
ARTICLE
There are three articles in English – ‘a’, ‘an’
and ‘the’. These articles are divided into
the = definite article
two types namely :
- Definite Article
- Indefinite Article
the and a/an. ‘The’ is used to refer to
specific or particular nouns; a/an is used to
modify non-specific or non-particular a/an = indefinite article
nouns. We call ‘the’ the definite article and
‘a/an’ the indefinite article.
TYPES OF
ARTICLE
a, an
Use “a” to talk about one of something.
- a car
- a song
Use “an” to talk about one of something
before a vowel (for something a vowel)
- an eye
- an hour
 TYPES OF
ARTICLE
THE
Use the to talk about something special that we all know about.
- the world
- the future
Use the to talk about something for the second time or when people know which one it is.
- It's a painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The painting is in Paris.
- Pass me the cup in front of you.
