2nd Class English Articles Articles

Articles

Articles tell us about nouns. There are three articles in English: a, an, and the.

1.            A- The article 'a' is used with nouns which are one in number and begin with a consonant. For example: a book, a pencil, a dog, etc.

2.            An- The article 'an' is used with nouns which are one in number and begin with a vowel. For example: an aeroplane, an apple, an egg, etc.

The articles ?a? and 'an' are used with countable nouns.

3.            The- The article 'the' is used with things which are uncountable. For example: the water, the air, the juice, etc. It is also used with particular things. For example:  the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, the moon, the sun, etc. 'The' is also used when we talk about something again. For example: George bought an apple. George ate the apple.
