Basically, there two kinds of articles in English: the definite article the and the indefinite article a. A has two variants: a and an. The also has two variants: the and the [ δ i]. A and the are used before nouns that begin with consonant sounds a book, the school while an and the are used with nouns that begin with vowel sounds an egg, the artist.

in one way or another. The milk that I bought yesterday should still be good. The indefinite article is used with nouns that have not been specifically identified. There is a book on the table. Articles are used even if a descriptive adjective accompanies the noun. a telephone a small, black telephone

a. when a determiner specifically identifies the noun. my pencil the my pencil that desk a that desk This symbol signifies that the form is ungrammatical. b. when the noun is of indefinite quality or quantity, that is, non- countable noun.

He deserves support from us. c. when the noun is the proper name of a person, street, city, country, etc. and is not qualified. Miriam is going to visit Mount Bromo in East Java.
