📓📓📓📓📓📓
There are 3 words in the language.
A
An
THE
These are called ARTICLES in the language. They just denote some nouns or noun phrase.

A and AN are called INDEFINITE ARTICLES while the remain THE is called DEFINITE ARTICLES.

A boy (any boy)
An Institution (any institution)
The boy (the particular boy)
The Institution (the particular Institution)

In Indefinite,
A is used before a word that starts a consonant sound.
AN is used before a word that begins a vowel sound.

The same thing happens in Definite article.
THE is used and pronounced as "DHA' when it is used before a word that begins a consonant sound, while it is sounded as "DHI" when it appears before a word that begins a vowel sound.

How to identify the place whether one is indefinite or definite..?

"I saw A man with AN umbrella in his hand. THE man was struggling with THE umbrella to fold it.
A boy came and helped THE man. In ending THE boy asked THE man where he was from.
THE man replied that he was AN MLA of A constituency."

Take care of using indefinite articles before a word that may not begin with vowel letter but vowel sound
AN MLA (EMELYAE),
AN MD (EMDEE)
AN HOUR (AUR)

Sometimes, some vowel letters might not give vowel sound.
A UNIT (YOONIT)
A EUROPEAN (YOOROPEAN)
A EUCALYPTUS TREE (YOOKOLIPTAS)
