What are Articles?
An article is a word that is utilized with a thing to indicate syntactic definiteness of the thing. English has three articles, ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’ and choosing which one to utilize can be dubious for learners. The initial step to making sense of which one to utilize is to distinguish the thing as a countable or uncountable thing as it is utilized in the sentence.
– Countable things can be counted (one apple, two apples, 100 apples).
– Uncountable things can’t be counted (one cash, two funds).
Countable things
You can put both a/an and the before a countable thing in the singular structure.
You should place an article before a singular countable thing.
You utilize a plural countable thing with no article in the event that you mean all or any of that thing.
You generally utilize “an/a” with a countable thing the first occasion when you state or compose that thing.
You utilize “the” with countable nouns:the second and resulting times you utilize the noun in a bit of discourse or writing. when the audience recognizes what you are alluding to (possibly on the grounds that there is just one of that thing)
You utilize an (not a) when the following word (adverb, adjective, noun) begins with a vowel sound.
Uncountable nouns:
You can’t state an/a with an uncountable noun.
You can’t place a number before an uncountable noun. (You can’t make an uncountable thing plural.)
You utilize an uncountable thing with no article on the off chance that you imply that thing when all is said in done.
You utilize “the” with an uncountable thing when you are discussing a specific case of that thing.
All the above rules apply paying little heed to whether there is an adjective before “the” or not.
Here are the absolute most significant standards identifying with articles with model sentences for your reference.
1. Utilize an uncountable thing without an article when alluding to the thing by and large.

3. You. as a rule, utilize an/a with a countable thing the first occasion when you state or compose that thing.

Do you have a vehicle?
4. You utilize the with tally things when the thing has been built up beforehand or when there is just one of that thing on the planet.
Where’s the pen I loaned you yesterday?
The dog is cordial, it’s my companion’s dog.
I slammed the vehicle.
Close the entryway!
5. You utilize a plural countable thing with no article when alluding to the thing by and large.
