dear teacher,
what are the 4 articles in english
Articles belong to the category Determiner.
Articles
an, a, the, and possessive nouns (e.g., Joe's, the priest's, my mother's).
Notice that the possessive nouns differ from the other determiners in that they, themselves, are often accompanied by other determiners: "my mother's rug," "the priests's collar," "a dog's life."
