What Is the Definite Article? (Video)
The definite article is the word 'the.' It is used in front of a noun to define it as something specific or previously considered (e.g., I am the murderer.) The definite article contrasts with the indefinite article ('a' or 'an'), which defines something as unspecific. Articles are classified as determiners.
