"The," "an," and "a" are called articles, and they are the only articles. Words like "to" when used to describe an object in relation to another object (like "I ran from my house to the church.") are called prepositions. 20 апр. 2018 г.
What type of words are the and A?
A/an and the are articles. They are a type of determiner and they go before a noun.
What category of word is the?
In the English language the word the is classified as an article, which is a word used to define a noun. (More on that a little later.) But an article isn't one of the eight parts of speech. Articles are considered a type of adjective, so "the" is technically an adjective as well.
