~Article~

Definition : The is called the definite article because it points out a particular object or class. 
Examples:  1. This is the book I was talking about.
                    2. The dodo bird is extinct.

There are only 3 article in English.

1. a

2. an

3. the

There are two types of articles indefinite 'a' and 'an' or definite 'the'. You also need to know when not to use an article.

INDEFINITE ARTICLE - a and an ( determiner )

A and an are the indefinite articles. They refer to something not specifically known to the person you are communicating with.

A and an are used before nouns that introduce something or someone you have not mentioned before.

For examples: 1.  "I saw an elephant this morning."

                      2.  "I ate a banana for lunch."

A and an are also used when talking about your profession:-

For examples: 1. "I am an English teacher."

                       2. "I am a builder."

You use a when the noun you are referring to begins with a consonant (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y or z), for example, "a city", "a factory", and "a hotel".

You use an when the noun you are referring to begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u).

DEFINITE ARTICLES - the ( determiner )

There are two ways to pronounce "the". One "thuh" and the other "thee".

You use the when you know that the listener knows or can work out what particular person/thing you are talking about.

For examples:

1. "The apple you ate was rotten."

2. "Did you lock the car?"

You should also use the when you have already mentioned the thing you are talking about.

For example:

"She's got two children; a girl and a boy. The girl's eight and the boy's fourteen."

We use the to talk about geographical points on the globe.

For Example:

the North Pole, the equator 

We use the to talk about rivers, oceans and seas

For example: the Nile, the Pacific, the English channel

We also use the before certain nouns when we know there is only one of a particular thing.

For example: the rain, the sun, the wind, the world, the earth, the White House etc..

No article????

We usually use no article to talk about things in general:-

For examples:

1. Inflation is rising.

2. People are worried about rising crime. (Note! People generally, so no article)

You do not use an article when talking about sports.

For examples: 

1.My son plays football.

2. Tennis is expensive.

You do not use an article before uncountable nouns when talking about them generally.

For examples:

    1. Information is important to any organisation.

2. Coffee is bad for you.
