    Articles are a part of speech that indicate definiteness in nouns, such as definite or indefinite. In languages with articles, every noun must be accompanied by the appropriate article corresponding to its definiteness. This makes articles obligatory unlike other adjectives and determiners, resulting in articles being among the most common words in many languages, such as the word "the" being the most frequent in English.

    ith other parts of speech.

    In English, articles are frequently considered a part of a broader speech


    category called determiners, which 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.[1]
