A definite or indefinite noun is defined by the article that precedes it:

  • the article the indicates that the noun following is a specific (definite) person or thing;
  • the articles a or an indicate that the noun following is a general (indefinite) person or thing.

Examples:

"Let's go to the party." - a specific party (definite)

"Let's go to a party." - any party (indefinite)

"Who's having an open party?" - any party that's open (indefinite)
