Articles are words used to define nouns as specific or unspecific. There are three articles: a, an, and the. 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles, used when referring to a non-specific member of a group. Use 'a' before words that begin with a consonant sound, and 'an' before words that begin with a vowel sound. 'The' is a definite article, used when referring to a specific noun.
