Types of Articles

  • There are two types of articles: indefinite (a, an) and definite (the).
  • Indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are used when referring to something general or non-specific.
  • Definite article 'the' is used when referring to something specific or already known.

Rules for Using 'A' and 'An'

  • Use 'a' before singular countable nouns starting with a consonant sound (e.g., a boy, a tree).
  • Use 'an' before singular countable nouns starting with a vowel sound (e.g., an apple, an egg).
  • Silent 'h' makes a word start with a vowel sound — use 'an' (e.g., an hour, an honest man).

Rules for Using 'The'

  • Use 'the' to refer to specific or previously mentioned things (e.g., The book on the table is mine).
