If I asked you to define the word 'the', you'd be stumped. Amirite?

The - one of the three main articles; means one and only of a noun. Not an exact definition, but close enough

Why is this homepaged? Everyone commented with the definition.

The post didn't say that there wasn't any way of defining it, just that most people wouldn't be able to off the cuff if someone asked them. I know I wouldn't be able to

I used to drive my parents crazy asking them questions like, "mommy, what's the word 'the' mean?" when I was little. Little me

An article that comes before to introduce a noun.
by Anonymous13 years ago
"The" is an article (one of three) that come before a noun to indicate which noun one is referring to.
by Anonymous13 years ago
a definite article, specifying which exact one, rather than in general
^ similar to "that", but "that" would be a demonstrative pronoun rather than a definite article
