What is it?

Articles are in English put in front of nouns (objects, people, animals, etc.) to determine whether we are dealing with any object like a car or a specific object, the car.

The grammatical names we will use when dealing with articles and nouns are: Singular, Plural, Indefinite and Definite.

The Rules

We use the term Noun Class for the two 'genders' Common and Neuter.
In Danish these are not the conventional male and female as seen in many languages like in Spanish: 'un' (masculin) and 'una' (feminin). Hence, we prefer the term Noun Class.

In Danish the articles are en (Common Noun Class) and et (Neuter Noun Class).

• Prefixed (put in front) when Indefinite
• Suffixed (at the end) when Definite

	Singular Indefinite	Singular Definite
Common	en [noun]	[noun]+(e)n
Neuter	et [noun]	[noun]+(e)t

If the noun already ends on an 'e' the 'e' in brackets is omitted.
