ARTICLES
Ingrid Cortés 8-799-2289
Basically, an article is an adjective. Like adjectives,
articles modify nouns.
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.
 the = definite article
 a/an = indefinite article
What is an article?
How to use articles A-AN-THE
"A/an" is used
to refer to a
non-specific
or non-
particular
member of
the group.
Examples “a/an”
For example, "I would like to go see a
movie." Here, we're not talking about a
specific movie. We're talking about any
movie. There are many movies, and I
want to see any movie. I don't have a
specific one in mind.
The definite article is the word the. It limits the
meaning of a noun to one particular thing.
 For example, your friend might ask, “Are you
going to the party this weekend?”
The definite article tells you that your friend is
referring to a specific party that both of you know
about. The definite article can be used with
singular, plural, or uncountable nouns.
The Definite Article
The indefinite article takes two forms. It’s the word
a when it precedes a word that begins with a
consonant. It’s the word an when it precedes a
word that begins with a vowel.
The indefinite article indicates that a noun refers to
a general idea rather than a particular thing. The
indefinite article only appears with singular nouns.
