Articles

An article is a word used to modify a noun.  A noun may be a person, place, thing, or idea. Technically, an article is an adjective, which is any word that modifies a noun. Usually adjectives modify nouns through description, but articles are used instead to point out the noun(s).  There are two types of articles: indefinite and definite. The articles a and an are indefinite articles and the article the is a definite article.

Indefinite Article:  A is used when the noun is singular and begins with a consonant or with a vowel that sounds like a consonant. Riding a bicycle one way to exercise. We have a spare tire in our trunk. There was a beautiful woman in the crowd.

Indefinite Article: An is used when the noun is singular and begins with a vowel sound or with a silent “h” (as in “hour”).

Bob is an entrepreneur. Debbie is an ophthalmologist.  It was an honor to receive the award.

Definite Article: The definite article the is used when the noun is either singular or plural, and has already been identified.

They wanted to pick the apples.

There seems to be trouble with the tires.

There is a hitchhiker on the freeway.

Bob drove the car.
