In the English language, the definite article is “the” (der, die, das) and the indefinite articles are “a“ or “an” (ein, eine).

Use:

The article “the” is used for stuff or other nouns which you know. You only can use the indefinite article “a“, when the word after the indefinite artcle begins with a consonant for example b. The indefinite article “an” can only be used, if the noun or adjective after the article begins with a vowel for example a or it sounds like a vowel. The indefinite article can be used for stuff or nouns which you don’t know how it looks like. You can’t use the article for names for example “God”. Weiterlesen →
