About A,AN,THE

Hi Everybody

First of all I am not a native speaker so this is hard for me because there's no such a thing in my language. I wonder about this . How can I put A,AN,THE before a noun? And are there any cases that I can leave it alone with no article before a noun? because I read a book and I found a word without article. so I wonder Is it possible?

And What different between A,AN and the??

Thanks for helping me.

a and an are really just two different forms of the same word. You use a before consonant sounds and an before vowel sounds. Otherwise, these are, in effect, the same word.
