Welcome to my new topic english grammar Article.

Let's start.

What is an Article?

Article is a word that combines with noun and defines whether a noun in any sentence or phrase is specific or general. Example: After the long tiring day, the cup of tea refreshed mind and body.

In this sentence, the use of article ‘the’ specifies the one day that was tiring and that one specific cup of tea refreshed body and mind.
