SOLUTION

Article (grammar)
An article (abbreviated ART) is a word (or prefix or suffix) that is with a noun to
indicate the type of reference being made by the noun. Articles specify the
grammatical definiteness of the noun, in some languages extending to volume or
numerical scope. The articles in the English language are the and a/an, and (in
some contexts) some. 'An' and 'a' are modern forms of the Old English 'an', which
in Anglian dialects was the number 'one' (compare 'on', in Saxon dialects) and
survived into Modern Scots as the number 'ane'. Both 'on' (respelled 'one' by the
Normans) and 'an' survived into Modern English, with 'one' used as the number
and 'an' ('a', before nouns that begin with a consonant sound) as an indefinite
article.
Traditionally in English, an article is usually considered to be a type of adjective.
In some languages, articles are a special part of speech, which cannot easily be
combined with other parts of speech. It is also possible for articles to be part of
another part of speech category such as a determiner, an English part of speech
category that combines articles and demonstratives (such as 'this' and 'that').
In languages that employ articles, every common noun, with some exceptions, is
expressed with a certain definiteness (e.g., definite or indefinite), just as many
languages express every noun with a certain grammatical number (e.g., singular or
plural). Every noun must be accompanied by the article, if any, corresponding to
its definiteness, and the lack of an article (considered a zero article) itself specifies
a certain definiteness. This is in contrast to other adjectives and determiners,
which are typically optional. This obligatory nature of articles makes them among
the most common words in many languagesin English, for example, the most
frequent word is the.

Types
Articles are usually characterized as either definite or indefinite. A few languages
with well-developed systems of articles may distinguish additional subtypes.
Within each type, languages may have various forms of each article, according to
grammatical attributes such as gender, number, or case, or according to adjacent
sounds.

Definite article

A definite article indicates that its noun is a particular one (or ones) identifiable to
the listener. It may be something that the speaker has already mentioned, or it may
be something uniquely specified. The definite article in English, for both singular
and plural nouns, is the.
The children know the fastest way home.

The sentence above refers to specific children and a specific way home; it
contrasts with the much more general observation that:
Children know the fastest way home.

The latter sentence refers to children in general, perhaps all or most of them.
Likewise,
Give me the book.

refers to a specific book whose identity is known or obvious to the listener; as

such it has a markedly different meaning from
Give me a book.

which does not specify what book is to be given.

The definite article can also be used in English to indicate a specific class among
other classes:
The cabbage white butterfly lays its eggs on members of the
Brassica genus.
Indefinite article

An indefinite article indicates that its noun is not a particular one (or ones)
identifiable to the listener. It may be something that the speaker is mentioning for
the first time, or its precise identity may be irrelevant or hypothetical, or the
speaker may be making a general statement about any such thing. English uses
a/an, from the Old English forms of the number 'one', as its primary indefinite
article. The form an is used before words that begin with a vowel sound (even if
spelled with an initial consonant, as in an hour), and a before words that begin
with a consonant sound (even if spelled with a vowel, as in a European).
She had a house so large that an elephant would get lost
without a map.

Before some words beginning with a pronounced (not silent) h in an unstressed

first syllable, such as hallucination, hilarious, historic(al), horrendous, and
horrific, some (especially older) British writers prefer to use an over a (an
historical event, etc.). An is also preferred before hotel by some writers of British
English (probably reflecting the relatively recent adoption of the word from
French, where the h is not pronounced).The use of "an" before words beginning
with an unstressed "h" is more common generally in British English than
American. American writers normally use a in all these cases, although there are
occasional uses of an historic(al) in American English. According to the New
Oxford Dictionary of English, such use is increasingly rare in British English too.
Unlike British English, American English typically uses an before herb, since the
h in this word is silent for most Americans.
The word some is used as a functional plural of a/an. "An apple" never means
more than one apple. "Give me some apples" indicates more than one is desired
but without specifying a quantity. This finds comparison in Spanish, where the
singular indefinite article 'un/una' ("one") is completely indistinguishable from the
unit number, except where it has a plural form ('unos/unas'): Dame una manzana"
("Give me an apple") > "Dame unas manzanas" ("Give me some apples").
However, some also serves as a quantifier rather than as a plural article, as in
"There are some apples there, but not many."
Some also serves as a singular indefinite article, as in "There is some person on the
porch". This usage differs from the usage of a(n) in that some indicates that the
identity of the noun is unknown to both the listener and the speaker, while a(n)
indicates that the identity is unknown to the listener without specifying whether or
not it is known to the speaker. Thus There is some person on the porch indicates
indefiniteness to both the listener and the speaker, while There is a person on the
porch indicates indefiniteness to the listener but gives no information as to
whether the speaker knows the person's identity.
Partitive article

A partitive article is a type of indefinite article used with a mass noun such as
water, to indicate a non-specific quantity of it. Partitive articles are used in French
and Italian in addition to definite and indefinite articles. The nearest equivalent in
English is some, although this is considered a determiner and not an article.
French: Voulez-vous du caf ?
Do you want (some) coffee? (or, dialectally but more accurately,
Do you want some of this coffee?)
See also more information about the French partitive article.

Haida has a partitive article (suffixed -gyaa) referring to "part of something or... to
one or more objects of a given group or category," e.g., tluugyaa uu hal
tlaahlaang 'he is making a boat (a member of the category of boats).
Negative article

A negative article specifies none of its noun, and can thus be regarded as neither
definite nor indefinite. On the other hand, some consider such a word to be a
simple determiner rather than an article. In English, this function is fulfilled by no,
which can appear before a singular or plural noun:
No man is an island.
No dogs are allowed here.
Zero article

The zero article is the absence of an article. In languages having a definite

article, the lack of an article specifically indicates that the noun is indefinite.
Linguists interested in X-bar theory causally link zero articles to nouns
lacking a determiner. In English, the zero article rather than the indefinite is
used with plurals and mass nouns, although the word "some" can be used as
an indefinite plural article.
Visitors end up walking in mud.

An article, such as a news article or piece of investigative report. Newspapers and

magazines have articles of many different types and this is intended to cover them
all.
