Language Arts: Categorized as either definite or indefinite, "a," "an," and "the" are known as what parts of speech?

Answer Articles

Not all languages have articles, but English does. The three articles in English are "a," "an," and "the." "The" is a definite article, meaning that it indicates a specific item. "A" and "an" are indefinite, meaning they indicate an item but not a specific one.
