  6. Definite Article • There is one definite article. • It is the word THE. • THE is a definite article. • It indicates exactly. • It tells definitely which item we are talking about. • “The”is used before nouns that are singular or plural in number • “The” is also used before the names ofholy books, famous buildings.
