Words such as a, an and the are called as articles. An article always comes before the noun in a
sentence.
Articles are of two types. Definite article (the) and Indefinite articles (a, an)
A and An are called Indefinite articles since they do not refer to any particular person, place or
thing. They are used only with singular nouns.
The use of a or an depends on the sound with which a word begins.
If a word begins with a vowel sound, we use ‘an’. Eg: An eagle
If a word begins with a consonant sound, we use ‘a’. Eg: a building, a mango
Look at the following examples:
i.There is a fax machine in our office. Ii. An Opera is a musical play.
‘The’ is known as the definite article since it refers to a particular person, place or thing.
Eg: i. The song you sang now is very melodious. ii. The neem tree is very useful.
We use ‘the’ with singular nouns and plural nouns , adjectives of superlative degree, nouns
that represent the whole class, names of seas, oceans and rivers, famous buildings, Holy books,
newspapers, trains, ships, famous events, honors and titles.
