Is it an article?

Report a typo

Imagine you are given a task to count how many times the definitive article the appears in a document. You decide to split this task into smaller parts.

  1. First of all, you have to make sure that the word is indeed an article and not just part of another word, such as weather or they.
  2. Your program should print True if it is indeed just an article and False otherwise.

Sample Input 1:

Sample Output 1:

import re

word = input()
