Definite and Indefinite Articles There are two kinds of Articles: The Definite Article The (singular and plural) The Indefinite Article (no plural) A (singular) An (singular) Note: Both definite and indefinite articles are always adjectives.

Demonstratives Demonstrative pronouns function as adjectives when they come before a noun: This food These books That girl Those girls Example: This old house belongs to my grandmother. Those people attended the game last night.
