How well do you know the English articles?

An article is a tiny word that comes before a noun. There are two kinds of articles in English: Definite Articles and Indefinite Articles.

In English there is just one definite article: "the". There are two indefinite articles: "a" and "an". "an" is used before any word starting with a vowel sound

The Definite Article "the" is used before a noun that is specific.For instance, "This is the river" tells that the listener and the speaker already know about the river being spoken about. An Indefinite Article is used before a noun that is general. For instance, "This is a river" can be any river in the world. It is not specific. It is a general statement.
