Before we learn about this subject, we will take a closer look at the highlighted terms:
The boy
A toy
The ball
An apple
We can see that the nouns: boy, toy, ball and apple are accompanied by the terms: The, um, the, um.
These terms are called articles.
Now that we know, let's conceptualize what the article really is:
The article is the term that accompanies the noun with the function of determining or specifying.
When we talk about determining, then we should think like this:
The girl – The statement is being made about a person, which is the girl.
It could also be the friend, teacher, or anyone else in general.
already the word to specify, means that we are referring to a person, object, animal or any other being, of private way. For example, when we say “a girl”, we are referring to only one girl, not all girls.
According to the subdivision of articles, we have:
Definite articles – the, the, the, the.
Indefinite articles – one, one, one, one.
