What are the 3 articles give examples?
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.
Are A and an articles?
English has two articles: the and a/an. The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a/an is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns. We call the the definite article and a/an the indefinite article.
When to use the A and an?
Use "a" or "an" if the title is not a specific title. Use "the" if a specific person has a title or if only one person has a title. Don't Use "a," "an," or "the" if the person's name is given. Use "the" if the name of the country is plural or indicates a group (of states, islands, etc.)
