An Article is a word that is explicitly used to refine a noun. For example, it is used in place, person, object etc. Thus, if you see, the article is considered an adjective. So, it is a word that modifies the noun.
In general, the adjective tends to modify the noun via description. However, Articles are used to point out the noun.
Number | Indefinite | Definite |
---|---|---|
Singular | a / an | the |
Plural | nothing | the |
Uncountable | nothing | the |
We use various articles in writing and conversation to point out or refer to a noun or group of nouns: Definite and Indefinite articles.
Let's clear out the Definite article first. This article is the word 'the,' and it leads straight to a particular noun or group of nouns.
For example:Each noun or group of nouns being referred to - pigmentations, turtle, and breakfast - is direct and specific.
Indefinite articles are' a' and 'an.' Each of these articles belongs to a noun. However, the noun connected to is not a particular person, place, thing, or concept. Instead, it can be any noun from a group of nouns.
For example:In any case, the noun is not precise. The BMW could be any BMW car ready for investment, and the incident could be an incident in the past.
