Articles are words you use in front of nouns to show what you refer to.
 
Example: a house (could be any house)
      an apple (could be any apple)
     The house (one specific house)
 
We only have three articles in English
The definite article the
The indefinite articles an and a
 
Examples: This is the women I was talking about.
         It was a cold day
         He was an old man
 
The indefinite articles a/an
We use an in front of subjects that begins with a vowel sound - an hour, an animal, an ice cream.
We use a in front of subjects that begin with a consonant sound - a fire, a car, a chair.

The definite article the
We use the definite article when we know who or what we talk about - the women, the hat, the teacher.
