What is the definition of... THE?

Question

What is the definion of "the"?

Answer 1

A definite article. (an indefinite article would be either An or a. As in, THE table instead of A table. You are definite about which table it is. Its THE table. Other definite articles might be That or This. )

Answer 2

The word the is the only definite article of the English language. The is the most common word in the English language.[4]

The article the is used in English as the very first part of a noun phrase. For example:

The end of time begins now.
Here "the end of time" is a noun phrase. The use of the signals that the reference is to a specific and unique instance of the concept (such as person, object, or idea) expressed in the noun phrase. Here, the implication is that there is one end of time, and that it has arrived.

The time is 3:29 PM.
There are many times, but the meaning here is the time now, of which (at the moment the sentence was produced) there is only one.

Answer 3

The term "the" will be defined as a word that points to a specific or definite object. For example:

the building is a five-storey building. (it refers to a definite building)

while if you will use other articles (a/an):

a building is a five-storey building. (it seems that you are defining that a building should be a five storey building.)
