What is a "definite article"?
A definite article is a type of determiner used to refer to a specific noun that is already known or identifiable to the listener or reader. In English, the definite article is "the." For example, in the phrase "the book on the table," "the" indicates a particular book that both the speaker and the listener are aware of. Definite articles help clarify which specific noun is being discussed, making communication more precise by indicating that the noun is unique or previously mentioned. They are essential for identifying known information in language.
