No, the words a, an, and the are called articles, determiners that introduce a noun or a noun phrase.

  • The article 'the' is the definite article, determines that the noun that follows is a specific person or thing (the teacher; the school).
  • The articles 'a' and 'an' are called indefinite articlesthat determine that the noun that follows is a general noun, not a specific one.
The article 'a' is used before a word that begins with a consonant sound (a day in March; a beautiful day).

The article 'an' is used before a word that begins with a vowel sound (an April day; an average day)

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.
