Q.Explain Article with example.

Ans. In English grammar, an article is a word used before a noun to show whether you are talking about something general or something specific. Think of them as a special type of adjective that modifies nouns. There are three articles in English: A, An, and The. 

1. Indefinite Articles (A / An): We use indefinite articles to talk about a singular, countable noun in a general way. Use them when the listener doesn't know exactly which specific item you are talking about, or when you are mentioning it for the first time.

A — Used before words that begin with a consonant sound.

Example: I saw a dog in the park. (Any dog, not a specific one.)

Example: She goes to a university.

(Note: "University" starts with a vowel letter, but it makes a "yoo" consonant sound.)

An — Used before words that begin with a vowel sound (A, E, I, O, U).

Example: I ate an apple for breakfast. (Just one general apple.)

Example: We will leave in an hour. 

(Note: The "h" is silent, so it starts with the vowel sound "our".)

2. Definite Article (The)We use The when referring to a specific, unique, or defined noun. It can be used with both singular and plural nouns. Use it when the listener already knows exactly which item you mean.

The — Points to a particular item or something that has already been mentioned.

Example: The dog I saw yesterday was huge. (A specific dog—the one from yesterday.)

Example: The Eiffel Tower is in Paris. (There is only one unique Eiffel Tower.)
