Fill Suitable Articles (A, AN and THE) – English Practice Test With Answers

Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. English has two types of articles: definite and indefinite.

Definite article

• the (before a singular or plural noun)

Indefinite article

• a (before a singular noun beginning with a consonant sound)
• an (before a singular noun beginning with a vowel sound)

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. There are certain situations in which a noun takes no article.
