The Articles "A" and "An" are known as Indefinite articles while "The" is called Definite Article. The article "The" specifically indicates a particular thing, place, or person and hence known as Definite Articles.

The rules for using "A" or "An" are as follows: "An" is used before a word beginning with a vowel sound. For example, An orange.

Here the noun girl starts with a consonant "g".Few words even though start with a consonant, while pronunciation, begins with a vowel sound. So the article "An" should be used. For example, An hour. An honest man. Here, the noun hour starts with h but the "h" is not pronounced.Similarly, Few words even though start with a vowel, while pronunciation, begins with a consonant sound.

Here in the first sentence mango is referred and in the 2nd-second sentence, the same specific mango is indicated, hence "the" is used in the second sentence.Used before large regions, countries, deserts, peninsulas, seas, gulfs, canals, oceans, lakes, rivers, famous books, mountain ranges, groups of islands, famous statues, unique things, musical instruments, etc. For Example The Atlantic Ocean.Used before superlatives during the comparison.
