Imagine sharing the following circumstance:
I came across THE section!
I came across AN section.
Note that both communicative situations portray about the same subject, but with a difference, which you will start to notice from some considerations:
In the first statement, especially if you are looking for exactly the section that will lead you to a better understanding of the article, make sure you came across the section, she yes, her own.
Thus, because the noun "section" is accompanied by the article "a", we affirm that it (the article) has the function of determine it.
In the other statement, you also came across ONE section, itself, any section. In this sense, we say that the noun "section", as it occurs in the first instance, is also accompanied by the article, but this time the function is of undetermine it.
Well, these examples were only useful for you to understand about the real functions of the article, these functions, particularities that, by clicking quickly, you will share a lot of information. Don't miss out, yes? of course you found THE section!
