English Articles (A, An and The) – Practice Tests 1 to 20

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

• The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader.
• The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known.

For the purposes of understanding how articles are used in sentences, it is important to know that nouns can be either count (can be counted) or noncount (indefinite in quantity and cannot be counted). In addition, count nouns are either singular (one) or plural (more than one). Noncount nouns are always in singular form.
