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.

Articles are words that identify a noun as being specific or unspecific. Consider the following examples: After the long day, the cup of tea tasted particularly good. By using the article the, we've shown that it was one specific day that was long and one specific cup of tea that tasted good.

A proper article indicates that its noun is proper, and refers to a unique entity. It may be the name of a person, the name of a place, the name of a planet, etc. The M?ori language has the proper article a, which is used for personal nouns; so, "a Pita" means "Peter".

Examples The French enjoy cheese. The elderly require special attention. She has given a lot of money to the poor.

'A' and 'an' are both indefinite articles used before nouns or before adjectives that modify nouns. To determine if you should use 'a' or 'an' before a word, you need to listen to the sound the word begins with. Use 'a' if the word begins with a consonant sound and use 'an' if the word begins with a vowel sound.

An article is a part of speech. In English, there is one definite article: "the." There are two indefinite articles: "a" and "an." The articles refer to a noun. Some examples are: "the house," "a cat," "an activity."
