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)
