Articles are very important to build sentences in English, in English there are two types of articles.
  1.  Indefinite article ( A and An )
  2. Definite articles ( The)
                                                                    
    Use of Indefinite Article A - A is used before  countable nouns start with consonants for example.
    • He is a cricketer.
    • She has a car.
    • There is a window in the class.
    Here cricketer, car and window start with consonants.
    However,  if the  noun start  with vowels  but it sound like consonant still article a will be used, for instance.
    • He is a European.  ( European sound like yuropean)
    • She will study in a university. (Here university sounds like yuniversity). 
    Use of Indefinite Article An - An is used before  countable nouns start with vowels  for example. 

    • I am an Indian.
    • She is an American.
    • They are Iranians.                     
      Use of Definite Article The - Article The is used before the nouns we previously know, or unique thing in a specific concerns, the nouns may be countable or uncountable .

      It can  be understood  by the examples.
      1. Using before superlative degrees.
      • Honesty is the best policy. ( Here no other policy is better than honesty).
      • IIT is the best engineering institute of India.
      • AIIMS is the best medical institute of India.
