NEW SKILL

Using the indefinite articles “a” and “an.” Review the image below.📘

 

We use A/AN with: 📘

Singular nouns and the first time we refer to a person, animal or thing. 📘

• a child
• an elephant
• a television

 

What is the difference between A and AN? 📘

A is used when the next word begins with a consonant sound (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k etc). 📘

• a book
• a table
• a clock
• a university (because the beginning of university sounds like YOU-niversity)

 

AN is used when the next word begins with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u). 📘

• an apple
• an elephant
• an umbrella
• an hour (because the H is silent)
