HOW DO WE USE THE ARTICLES ''A'', ''AN'' & ''The''
DEFINITE AND INDEFINITE ARTICLES
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.
The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known. There are certain situations in which a noun takes no article.
As a guide, the following definitions and table summarize the basic use of articles. Continue reading for a more detailed explanation of the rules and for examples of how and when to apply them.
Definite article
the (before a singular or plural noun)
Indefinite article
a (before a singular noun beginning with a consonant sound)

Count nouns - refers to items that can be counted and are either singular or plural
