If you mean the word article:

The article of clothing looked old.

I read an article in the newspaper.


If you mean article of speech, those words called Articles of Speech are a, an, and the.


A teacher told me to be quiet. (No particular teacher, just "a" teacher.)

The teacher told me to be quiet. (The indicates one specific teacher.)


A is used when the next word does not start with a vowel.

An is used when the next word starts with a vowel.


I saw a shark. (A is used when there's no exact one; it could have been any shark.)

I saw an octopus. (An - just something random that starts with a vowel.)

I saw the shark. (Meaning one particular shark, such as at Sea World.)

I saw the octopus. (Meaning one particular octopus, such as at Sea World.)
