Kinds of The Article- Definite Article ( Kata Sandang Tertentu ) The first form of the article in English grammar is the definite article. Definite “means” clear, obvious.” The definite article tells us that the noun is specific. The speaker talks about a particular (or known) thing. The English definite article is the. The definite article, "the," is used to refer to specific things. Example: 'These are the Chairs' -  Indefinite Articles ( Kata Sandang Tak Tentu )In-“means “not.” And “Definite” means “clear, obvious.” “Indefinite” means “not clear, not exact.” The indefinite article tell us that the noun  is not specific.
