he man ate an extravagant meal at a fancy restaurant. Ritzy! This classy sentence uses three of some of the most commonly used words: the, a, and an. However, there is more to these words than simply the number of times that we use them. These three words belong to a class of words known as articles. If you want to become a grammar master, it is really important to know how to use articles because of how often they show up in our sentences.

What is an article?

An article is a word that is used to indicate that a noun is a noun without describing it. For example, in the sentence Nick bought a dog, the article a indicates that the word dog is a noun. Articles can also modify anything that acts as a noun, such as a pronoun or a noun phrase.

Often, a sentence needs an article before a noun in order to make grammatical sense. For example,

❌ Incorrect: I have box.
✅ Correct: I have a box.

❌ Incorrect: She opened door.
