What are articles?
Articles are adjectives because they modify nouns.
We use two different articles:
The
A/An
The
The is a definite article because it refers to a specific noun.
The man wanted to buy a boat. The man went to the boat store.





A/An
A is an indefinite article because it refers to a non-specific noun.
The man told the owner that he wanted to buy a boat. He did not know which boat he wanted.






An also refers to a non-specific noun. We use it in front of words that begin with vowel sounds.
The owner asked the man if he wanted an extraordinary boat or a plain boat.


or ?


Sometimes we do not use an article at all. This happens when we refer to some plural nouns or specific nouns.
The man said that he loved all kinds of boats, but he wanted an extraordinary boat to show to his friends.
