Articles

There are two articles in English one is definite (the) and another one is indefinite (a, an).

When we will use definite and indefinite:

Definite Articles:

If we talk about particular one person or thing, in this case we use definite (the) articles.

For examples:

The capital of Bangladesh is Dhaka.

I read the book. (Specific book)

I have cleaned the room.

Before sleeping, please switch off the light.

Indefinite Articles:

If the person or thing is not sure or certain, in this case we use indefinite articles.

For examples:

I have a pen.

They went to buy an umbrella.

A man and a woman are going to market.

Yesterday I saw an elephant.

I ate an apple for lunch.

He is a good English teacher.
