Grammar section: lesson 3

Indefinite articles A-An

When do we use A?

When the nouns start with a consonant

For example

A  dog

A  chair

A  bed

When  do we use AN?

When the nouns start with a vowel

An apple

An airplane

An umbrella

But, keep in mind the exceptions

1. We sometimes use A with the nouns start with a vowel. It happens with words that start with a vowel that sounds as a consonant.

One /wan/

University /juniversiti/

Euro /juarau/

2.  We sometimes use A with some nouns that start with H. We said this because it's going to depend on the pronunciation. 

2.1  When the H is deaf we use AN 

2.2 Whereas when the H has a sound at the moment it pronouns, it must be accompanied with A.

1.1 

An hour

An honour

An honest

2.2

A house

A hen

A hundred
