A, an, and the are English articles that are used with nouns. "A" and "an" are indefinite articles that are used to refer to a nonspecific or general noun, while "the" is a definite article that refers to specific or particular nouns. The choice between "a" and "an" depends on whether the following word starts with a vowel sound, with "an" being used before words that start with vowel sounds. "The" is used when the intended noun is clear from the context.
