Articles

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.
Now, let us look at the different uses of the :
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.
