'The' is called the 'definite article'. 'Some/any' is often used as the pluran of 'a/an'. If you use 'no article', this has a different meaning from all the others. Therefore in English there are four articles. Articles are used to show whether we are referring to things that are known both to the speaker/writer and to the listener/readed ('definite'), or that are known to them both ('indefinite'). Articles can also show whether you are talking about about things in general or particular things.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Articles/dqz/post.htm#1183Mon, 26 Jan 2009 03:29:22 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:1183hitchhiker3http://www.englishforums.com/English/Articles/dqz/post.htm#1183http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-1183.xmlAlso see our frequently asked questions English basically has two articles: the (definite article) and a (indefinite).
