Articles Worksheets for CBSE Class 3

We already know that ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’ are articles.
There are two kinds of Articles:
Indefinite Articles: a and an
Definite Article: the
Indefinite Articles
 ‘A’ and ‘an’ are called indefinite articles because they do not refer to any
particular noun. We use indefinite articles before a singular countable noun.
 We use a or an when we talk about a common noun for the first time.
We use a where the noun is singular and begins with a consonant sound.
Examples: a parrot, a bag, a girl, a cake
We use an when the noun is singular and begins with a vowel sound.
Examples: an elephant, an owl, an old house, an orange
Definite Article
 ‘The’ is called the definite article because it is used to refer to a particular noun.
 The definite article is used before both singular and plural nouns.
 We use the before nouns starting with consonants as well as vowels.
