    The Indefinite Article

    Uploaded by

    Rashid Ali
    The indefinite article takes two forms - "a" preceding consonants and "an" preceding vowels. It indicates a general or non-specific noun rather than a particular thing. The indefinite article only appears with singular nouns and is used to refer to nonspecific items, as in asking a friend if you should bring a gift to a party or telling a friend you will bring an apple pie without referring to a specific gift or pie.

    The Indefinite Article

    The indefinite article takes two forms. It’s the word a when it precedes a
    word that begins with a consonant. It’s the word an when it precedes a word
    that begins with a vowel. The indefinite article indicates that a noun refers to
    a general idea rather than a particular thing. For example, you might ask your
    friend, “Should I bring a gift to the party?” Your friend will understand that
    you are not asking about a specific type of gift or a specific item. “I am going
    to bring an apple pie,” your friend tells you. Again, the indefinite article
    indicates that she is not talking about a specific apple pie. Your friend
    probably doesn’t even have any pie yet. The indefinite article only appears
    with singular nouns. Consider the following examples of indefinite articles
    used in context:

    Please hand me a book; any book will do.

    Please hand me an autobiography; any autobiography will do.
