Articles: Articles are words that come before nouns to indicate whether the noun refers to a specific thing (the) or to any member of a general class (a, an).
Here are a few specific examples of determiners in use:
- I like the red hat you are wearing. This red sweater looks warm too!
- These three students turned in their homework a full hour earlier than anyone else! Those lazy students over there, however, have to stay 1 hour past to finish theirs due to their repeated disruptions from yesterday!
