The usage of the indefinite article The indefinite article includes a an, which means equivalent to one, which can be translated as "one" and "every" in many cases, but it does not emphasize quantity like one, and sometimes it can be left untranslated.
The use of the definite article The legal article the mainly plays a limiting role in the following nouns, and "special reference" is its main function.
In the case of the absence of an article (zero article), the material noun does not use an article when it is a generic reference. Abstract and nouns do not use articles when expressing a concept. The article is not preceded by proper nouns that denote country names, place names, person names, cities, streets, and mountains with the initials mounted, as well as most lakes.
The articles are not used before nouns such as seasons, months, holidays, dates, and weeks.
Classification: Articles are divided into indefinite articles, definite articles, negative articles, partial articles, and zero articles, and zero articles refer to situations where articles are not used.
A definite article (e.g. the) in English is used to qualify that the noun that follows this article is a particular thing.
An indefinite article (e.g. a an in English) is used to indicate that the noun that follows the article refers to one of a particular class of things, but it doesn't matter which one it is.
Partial articles (e.g., du de la in French) are used to indicate that the amount of nouns that follow the article is indefinite.
A negative article (e.g. kein in German) is used to indicate that the noun that follows the article does not exist.
In addition, in some languages (e.g. French), the masculine and feminine forms of the same noun, the singular and plural forms are pronounced exactly the same, and the use of the preceding different articles allows the listener to distinguish the different forms of the noun.
