ENGLISH:Short notes on Article

Article :

The words "A" or "An" and "The" are called Articles. They come before nouns. There are two Articles - "A (or An)" and "The".

"A" or "An" is called the Indefinite Article, because it usually leaves indefinite the person or thing spoken of; as, A Ground, A Cow

Indefinite (Not Sure) : If you are talking about some random thing or person, then you use Indefinite Article. In the above example, 'A Cow' means a random cow. Similarly 'A Ground' means any random ground and no one can be sure which we are talking about.

"The" is called the Definite Article, because it normally points out some particular person or thing.

For example, The Cow, The Ground.

Definite Article (a particular thing or person) : If we say 'The' before any noun, it means we are talking about a prticular thing or person. In the above example 'The Cow' means a particular cow. Similarly 'The Ground' means a particular ground.
