1. Understanding Articles:

• Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific.
• The two types of articles are “a” and “an.”

---

2. When to Use “A”:

• Use “a” before words that begin with a consonant sound.
• Examples:
  • “a cat”
  • “a dog”
  • “a house”
  • “a unicorn” (sounds like “yoo”)

---

3. When to Use “An”:

• Use “an” before words that begin with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).
• Examples:
  • “an apple”
  • “an elephant”
  • “an orange”
  • “an hour” (the “h” is silent)

---

4. Remembering the Rule:

• Focus on the sound, not just the first letter of the word.
• If the word starts with a vowel sound, use “an.”
• If it starts with a consonant sound, use “a.”

---

5. Practice:

• Choose the correct article for each sentence:
  • “I saw _ elephant.” (an)
  • “She has _ cat.” (a)
  • “We read _ interesting book.” (an)
  • “He wants _ ice cream.” (an)
