Articles
A, an and the are articles.
We use an before words starting with a vowel sound.
We use a before words starting with a consonant sound.
The is called a definite article. It is used with a particular person, animal or thing.
Examples :- The man in green shirt is my uncle.
- Who ate the cake?
We usually do not use 'the' before names of villages, towns, cities and countries.
- I had an umbrella.
- I have a glass.
- The sun is shining.
Use of 'the' | Examples |
---|---|
We use the when we talk or write about things that are only one of a kind. | the sun the earth |
We use the with special popular names. | the Taj Mahal |
We use a or an when we talk of a thing for the first time. But when we talk of that particular or definite thing again, we use the. | I have an orange in my basket. I want to eat the orange. |
