Articles

• The is called the definite article because it
  usually precedes a specific or previously
  mentioned noun a and an are called indefinite
  articles because they are used to refer to
  something in a less specific manner (an
  unspecified count noun).
• CAUTION! Even after you learn all the principles
  behind the use of these articles, you will find
  an abundance of situations where choosing the
  correct article or choosing whether to use one or
  not will prove chancy. Icy highways are
  dangerous. The icy highways are dangerous. And
  both are correct.

Examples of Articles

• The (definite article)
• A (indefinite article)
• An (indefinite article)
• Use an in place of a when it precedes a vowel
  sound, not just a vowel. That means it's "an
  honor" (the h is silent), but "a UFO" (because
  it's pronounced yoo eff oh).
• The hunter who hunted bugs bunny always failed.
• A cat was stuck in the tree.

Interjections

• An interjection is an exclamatory word (or
  words) that shows strong or sudden feeling and
  has no grammatical function in the construction
  of a sentence.
• Most mild interjections are set off from the
  rest of the sentence with a comma or set of
  commas. If the interjection is more forceful,
  however, it is followed with an exclamation
  marks.
