What are some examples of article adjectives?

You're likely thinking about definite and indefinite articles, which are a type of adjective that specify whether a noun is specific or general.

Here are some examples:

Definite Articles:

* The book is on the table. (Refers to a specific book)

* The cat chased the mouse. (Refers to specific cat and mouse)

* The sun is shining. (Refers to a specific sun)

Indefinite Articles:

* I have a cat. (Refers to any cat)

* I bought an apple. (Refers to any apple)

* I saw a bird flying. (Refers to any bird)

Key Points:

* Definite articles ("the") are used when the noun is already known or specific.

* Indefinite articles ("a", "an") are used when the noun is not specific or is being introduced for the first time.

Note: The article "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound (e.g., "an apple," "an hour").

There are also no articles in some cases, such as when referring to general, abstract nouns:

* Love is a powerful emotion.

* Happiness is a state of mind.
