Articles are determiners used before nouns to provide information or define them, with three types: A, An, and The. A and An indicate 'one' of something and are used based on the sound that follows, with A before consonant sounds and An before vowel sounds. Specific rules govern their usage, including their application before singular countable nouns and in certain phrases.

ARTICLES ● Articles are a part of determiners that are used before nouns to define nouns or give

some information about nouns. ● Articles are of three types: A, An and The Article - A/An ●
These two articles are basically used to show the number ‘one’ of something like a chair, an
apple, etc. ● If we have a class of something and we have to choose or pick one/any/each/every
from that particular class, we use Article A/An. ● For example, An apple a day keeps the doctor
away. In this sentence an apple ‘refers to any apple and ‘a day’ refers to every day. ● If I say ‘a
student’, I am not referring to any particular student but I am referring to any student from the
class ‘student’. ● ‘A’ is used before the consonant sounds and ‘An’ is used before the vowel
sounds. Eg: a boy, a student, an M.P., an honest man, etc. Note: Usage of A/An has nothing to do
with letters of English language. These are used according to the sound with which a word starts.
Rules: 1. A/An is used before singular countable nouns. For example, ● Twelve inches make a
foot. 2. Before a person not known to the speaker. For example, ● A Mr. Sharma has come to
meet you. 3. Before the verbs used as a noun. For example, ● Have a bath, take a ride, take a
walk, etc. 2. ‘A’ sometimes comes before determiners, for example, a few, a little, a lot of
