Here, let's learn about Definite and Indefinite articles.
Indefinite :
reason" it can mean anything and not in particular.
Example:
That is a boy. note a boy. Is he short ot tall?Is he stout or lean?Is he happy or sad? Is he white or black? Do you know anything
about the boy?NO.
So this "a"" is indefinite. It is a an indefinite article.
_________________________________________________________________
Next one is "an" I bought an apple.
Do you know what type of apple I bought?
No you don't.
Is it a ripened one or unripened?
Is it fresh or rotten?
Is it a green one or a red one?
Do you know anything about the apple?
No you don't.
So it is an indefinite article.
NOTE: an is used only before nouns starting with vowels
a, e, i, o, u, and in some cases when"h" is silent.
as is the case in hotel or hour. example: an hour, an hotel
when "H"is silent.
___________________________________________________________
The is definite.
I saw a dog. The dog was a spotted one.
It tells something about a particular dog.
so "the " is used to define what type of dog was it.
