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.
