The literal meaning of the word article is a little joint from the Latin 'artus' meaning a joint or limb. Speech is articulate when distinctly divided into joints, i.e. into words and syllables, and not jumbled together.
There are three articles in English grammar; The, a and an. ,'The' is known as the definite article as it shows that the noun which follows is a particular or special one of its kind. The indefinite article, 'a' or 'an' indicates that the noun which follows could be any one of that type of thing.
The definite article can be used for both singular and plural nouns, but the indefinite article may only be used with the singular noun.
