Articles

sponsored linksrticles are of TWO types. They are

Indefinite article ---- A / An1.

Definite article ---- The2.

What's the difference?

If you want to say about ANY item, you should

use the articles A / An. If you want to say

about a SPECIFIC item, you should use the

article THE.

Confused? Lets see an example. Assume that

you've selected for a Bank Exam. You have a

stupid friend like me. So obviously She will

ask you a party.

Suppose if She says

Lets go to a Restaurant, that means She doesn't have any specific restaurant in Her

mind. So you can give her party in ANY cheap restaurant. But,

If she says Lets go to THE restaurant, that means She has some SPECIFICATIONS.

I mean she have a specific restaurant in her mind. So you cant escape ;)

Well, this is the basic difference between A/An and The. There are so many differences and

usages of these articles. We shall discuss them later.

Ok, lets discuss about the Indefinite articles first.

Indefinite Articles :

A : The indefinite article 'a' is used before singular countable nouns that start with a Consonant

sound.

An : The indefinite article 'an" is used before singular countable nouns that start with a Vowel

sound.

Wow, Nice definitions. No?

Have a look at some examples,

A :

A Bat

A Cat

A Rat

A Jug

An :

An Apple

An Egg

AN Ink-Bottle

An Orange

An Umbrella

Great,

Now tell me, what should I use before the

words European, One-Eyed Beggar,

University, Useful Website?

Can I say, Guide4BankExams is an Useful

site to know about Banking Exams?

NO

why ?

Please Re-Read the definitions. Here we are talking about Vowel and Consonant SOUNDS.

Not the Letters. People often confuse with this. They blindly put A before a word, if it starts

with a Vowel letter (A, E, I, O, U) and put An before the word which starts with the consonant

letter.

Consider the SOUND, not the LETTER.

Confusing? Lets see a short cut for this.

If a word starts with a SWAR (Any of the Indian Language) sound, then we should

use An before it.

If a word starts with a Vyanjan (An of the Indian Language) sound, then we should

use A before it.

Have a look at this picture,

so, now see these examples,

A :

A European

A One-Eyed beggar

A University

A Useful Website

An:

An hour

An Honest Man

An honourable person

Thats it.

Now lets see some more TRICKY examples in English.

Suppose , if you want to say about the Member of Parliament, you can say a Member of

Parliament, But if you use shorter form as M.P, Then you should say, He is an M.P

Lets see another example, He is an NRI but He is a Non Resident Indian

Thats all for now friends, tomorrow we shall discuss about the article THE.

Good Day
