An article is a word used earlier than a noun that suggests whether or not the reference is to a precise entity or entities or an unspecific one.
There are individual
three articles, a, an and the. a and an, the indefinite articles, are used to
refer to a single and unspecified entity. A is used with nouns that start with
a consonant sound, as in a battery, while an is used with words that begin with
a vowel sound, as in an iPad.
The, the
definite article, refers to a precise entity or entities. The single entity may
additionally also be made up of a couple of person entities, as in, for
example, the class of 1999, the Beatles or the IEEE (Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers).
