Indefinite articles are a and an, and they refer to unspecific nouns. Remember to use a before nouns starting with a consonant sound and an before nouns starting with a vowel sound. For example, a dog, an umbrella, an hour. The definite article is the and it refers to specific nouns. You can use the before both singular and plural nouns, such as the book, the chairs, the United States, the Olympics.

Let’s look at some common mistakes with articles and how to avoid them:

1. Using and before a consonant sound like saying and book instead of a book.
2. Using a before a vowel sound like saying animal instead of an animal.
3. Forgetting to use the with specific nouns like saying I read book instead of I read the book.
