          A.  Use of articles ‘a’, ‘an’, or ‘the’

               The words ‘a’, ‘an’, and ‘the’ are called articles.

                 We use ‘a‘ before naming words that begin with consonant sounds.

                    Examples :  a chair, a doll

                  We  use ‘an‘  before  naming words  that  begin  with  vowel  sounds
                    (a, e, i, o, u).

                    Examples :  an apple, an egg

                  We use ‘the’ before the names of things that are only one of their kind.
