This is book ........... <<<<<<< the second sentence is right but the first sentence . I am not sure about it

'This is a book' is fine. Books are countable, so if you introduce one single book, you must use 'a' . If you use personal pronouns ( I/we, you, he/she/it, they ) you shouldn't use any article.

- 'This' and ' that' are not used with articles, but you can use 'this' and 'that' instead of 'the' .
- 'An' is used only when the next word starts with a vowel: 'a n a pple' ; 'a n e xcellent book' .
