key notes :
β¨Use the Correct Article β a or an β¨
π Articles are small words we put before nouns. They help us talk about things clearly.
| π’ Use a before words that begin with a consonant sound (b, c, d, f, gβ¦). |
π Example:
- π± a cat
- π a book
- π a ball
- π a car
| π΅ Use an before words that begin with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u). |
π Example:
- π an apple
- π₯ an egg
- π¦ an owl
- π¦ an ice-cream
- π an umbrella
| π― Quick Tip! |
β¨ Itβs not about the letter, but the sound.
- β an hour (because βhβ is silent β sounds like vowel)
- β a horse (because βhβ is sounded β consonant sound)
| πΌοΈ Visual Memory Trick π¨ |
- π °οΈ + π± = a cat
- π °οΈ + π = a book
- π °οΈπ ½ + π = an apple
- π °οΈπ ½ + π₯ = an egg
| π Remember! |
- a = one thing, before consonant sound πππ
- an = one thing, before vowel sound ππ₯π¦
