You're welcome.
When counting the number of words in your essay, it is generally recommended to include articles. However, the specific requirements may vary depending on the guidelines provided by your teacher or the institution you're submitting the essay to. To count the words in your essay, you can follow these steps:
1. Open your essay in a word processing software like Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
2. Select all the text in your essay by pressing Ctrl+A (Windows) or Command+A (Mac) on your keyboard. Alternatively, you can click and drag your cursor to select the entire text.
3. Look for the word count feature in your word processing software. In Microsoft Word, you can find it in the bottom left corner of the program window. In Google Docs, it is located under the "Tools" menu.
4. Click on the word count feature, and a window or a small pop-up will display the number of words in your essay. It may also include additional statistics such as character count, paragraph count, and more.
By including articles in the word count, you get an accurate measurement of your essay's length. However, if you have specific instructions stating otherwise, it's always best to follow those guidelines.
