                      USE OF ARTICLES

              An article is a word that describes a noun. It is used before a noun to show whether it is specific or not. In English
              grammar there are three articles—A, An, The. They fall into the following two categories: definite and indefinite.
              Definite—The

              "THE" is a definite article which is used before a noun that indicates something clear or obvious. For example:
              •  The sun shines bright today.
              •  Give me the book on the table.

              •  The air quality is very bad in this place.
              Indefinite—A, An
              •  'A' and 'An' are indefinite articles which are used before a noun that are not specific or known before. "A" is used
                before a word beginning with a consonant (alphabets other than vowels) sound. For example:
                   w A book (it can be any book)
                   w A game (it can be any game)
              •  "An" is used before a word that begins with a vowel(a, e, i, o, u) sound. For example, an umbrella, an hour, an ice
                cream cone, etc.
