1. ARTICLES INTRODUCTION AND USE OF A/AN

 
Article is itself a kinds of adjective which is used before a noun to make it definite or indefinite.

यहाँ वाक्य (i) में beggar के पहले A का प्रयोग है। A या An को Indefinite Articles कहा जाता है क्योंकि ये किसी को Indefinite बनाते हैं। अत: A beggar का अर्थ है 'एक भिखारी, कोई भिखारी'। अर्थात् उस भिखारी के बारे में कोई जानकारी नहीं है कि वह कौन है, कहाँ रहता है।
