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 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.
