About Articles
Articles determine whether a noun is general, specific, known or representative: “a,” “an,” “the” and the zero article each have distinct uses. Questions cover countable and uncountable nouns, first and later mention, unique objects, proper nouns and choosing articles by sound, not merely by spelling.
