Everything we can see or talk about is represented by a
word that names it. That ‘naming’ word is called
a noun.

14.  An article is a kind of adjective which is always used
with, and gives some information, about a noun.
 The three articles in English are a, an and the.
 There are two different types of articles that we use in
writing and conversation to point out or refer to a
noun or group of nouns: definite and indefinite
articles.

15.  Indefinite articles are the words a and an. Each of
these articles is used to refer to a noun, but the noun
being referred to is not a specific person, place, object,
or idea. It can be any noun from a group of nouns.

16.  The definite article, the, is a shortened form of this,
that, these or those and is used before singular and
plural nouns.
