ENGLISH ARTICLES

ENGLISH ARTICLES

In English, there are three articles: "a", "an", and "the". They are a type of adjective that are used before nouns or noun equivalents.

Articles are determiners or noun markers that specify if the noun is general or specific in its reference. The article chosen often depends on if the writer and the reader understand the reference of the noun.
Here are some uses for the articles:
  • A and an: Used for nouns that are general. For example, "I'd like a cookie".
  • The: Used for nouns that are known by you and the person you are speaking to. For example, "The children are playing cricket".
The definite article is the default determiner when the speaker believes that the listener knows the identity of a common noun's referent.
The "null article" appears before proper nouns and some singular countable nouns. For example, "Ms Parrot visited us after lunch".
