Articles A, An, and The

Hi again, students! Today we are going to learn about articles. What is articles? According to  owl.english.purdue.edu  ,  articles function like an adjective, which modify nouns. 

 English has two articles:
1. the 
2. a/an.  

  • 'The' is used to refer to specific or particular nouns
  • A/an is used to modify general noun, or also known as non-specific or non-particular nouns. 
  • We call 'the' as the definite article and 'a/an' as the indefinite article.
For example:
  • I have a cat.
  • He goes to the school.
  • She wants an umbrella.

For futher explanation, try watching this video.
