Articles
rticles are of TWO types. They are sponsored links 1. Indefinite article ---2. Definite article ---A / An The

What's the difference? If you want to say about ANY item, you should use the articles A / An. If you want to say about a SPECIFIC item, you should use the article THE. Confused? Lets see an example. Assume that you've selected for a Bank Exam. You have a stupid friend like me. So obviously She will ask you a party. Suppose if She says Lets go to a Restaurant, that means She doesn't have any specific restaurant in Her mind. So you can give her party in ANY cheap restaurant. But, If she says Lets go to THE restaurant, that means She has some SPECIFICATIONS. I mean she have a specific restaurant in her mind. So you cant escape ;) Well, this is the basic difference between A/An and The. There are so many differences and usages of these articles. We shall discuss them later. Ok, lets discuss about the Indefinite articles first. Indefinite Articles : A : The indefinite article 'a' is used before singular countable nouns that start with a Consonant sound. An : The indefinite article 'an" is used before singular countable nouns that start with a Vowel sound. Wow, Nice definitions. No?

An Apple An Egg AN Ink-Bottle An Orange An Umbrella Great, Now tell me, what should I use before the words European, One-Eyed Beggar, University, Useful Website? Can I say, Guide4BankExams is an Useful site to know about Banking Exams? NO why ? Please Re-Read the definitions. Here we are talking about Vowel and Consonant SOUNDS. Not the Letters. People often confuse with this. They blindly put A before a word, if it starts with a Vowel letter (A, E, I, O, U) and put An before the word which starts with the consonant letter. Consider the SOUND, not the LETTER. Confusing? Lets see a short cut for this. If a word starts with a SWAR (Any of the Indian Language) sound, then we should use An before it. If a word starts with a Vyanjan (An of the Indian Language) sound, then we should use A before it. Have a look at this picture,
