Форма артикля a/an зависит от звука (гласного или согласного), с которого начинается существительное:
I have a pencil. - У меня есть карандаш (какой-то, любой, карандаш вообще).
There is an apple in the vase. - В вазе есть (какое-то, одно) яблоко.

_____________________________________________________________
существительное a/an the нет артикля
исчисляемые ед.ч. a cat the cat
_____________________________________________________________
исчисляемые мн. ч. --- the cat cats
_____________________________________________________________
неисчисляемые --- the water water
_____________________________________________________________

e.g. In shops a computer scans the price of each item.
Когда мы употребляем то же самое существительное снова, мы используем the.
