Articles are used to indicate the number of singular nouns (a, an) and to specify which noun is being talked about (the). A and an are indefinite articles. They are used to refer to a singular countable noun in general or for the first time.

Basic English Grammar rules can be tricky. In this article, we’ll get you started with the basics of sentence structure, punctuation, parts of speech, and more.

Worksheet Exercise on Articles for Class 3 CBSE with Answers PDF

There are two types of articles: the definite article (the) and the indefinite articles (a, an).

We usually use the indefinite article ‘a’ ‘an’, first to mention some person or thing. By doing that, we don’t have to be clear about which particular person or thing we are referring to. When we refer to the same person or the thing again, we use the definite article the to indicate the person or the thing already mentioned. There are times when we don’t have to use any one of the articles. Such a situation is called zero article,

Fundamentals

• A and An are used to introduce a noun word.
• We use A and An to talk about one person, animal or thing.
• We use ‘A’ when the first letter of the noun is consonant.
• We use ‘An’ when the first letter of the noun is a vowel.
• ‘The’ is used before a special noun.
• We use ‘A’ before words that begin with u and eu when they sound like ‘You’. Examples: a uniform, a eucalyptus etc.
• We use ‘An’ before the silent ‘h’. Examples: an honest man, an hour etc.
• ‘The’ is also used before a noun word that has been mentioned, introduced or discussed earlier.
