Let's Correct Our Grammar!🕓-🕕 04:00-06:00 am

The Determiners are the words used before a noun to fix their meanings.
De facto, it's a modern term that consists of a set of diverse tit-bits of the ancient English grammar having different names as-
Pronouns+Possessives+Articles+Demonstratives+Numericals+
Quantitatives+Interrogatives+distributives+etc.
Today we'll have a brief view of Articles-                                                                                                                          Kinds                                               

Definite Article-The  

Indefinite Articles-       a/an

Articles are, in fact, demonstrative adjectives.

Definite Articles are the ones that are used before a particular kind of nouns as 'The' the one and only things, objects and also for repetition as the Effel Tower.

Indefinite Articles-are the words which are used before a common object or person beginning with a consonant or a consonant sound, as
A-An                           A doctor🩺                        An ice cream🍦
A Rule of the Thumb
An is used before the words beginning with a vowel or a vowel sound.
As.                              an umbrella☔

Note- Grammar cannot be confined to a limited number of set rules, in fact, very now and then, it requires a little common sense to derive a right conclusion. Besides, the content is also extensive and this particular series has a few limitations of time and space, and also it's not always possible to extend an accurate view of any particular topic, as it's always  restricted by exceptions. Therefore, please co-operate and keep on exploring, you'll certainly come across lots of new or missing facts.

A little delay in publication of the posts regretted.

Have a nice time by the publication of the next post
