A. ARTICLES

Article is part of determiner. It used for singular noun that mean “one”. There
are two types or article
.
1. Indefinite Article (a and an)
We used a/an to say what kind of something or somebody is. A is used in
front of word that begin with consonant. For example:
A book → She brings a book in her bag
A dictionary → A dictionary was broken by the students
A person → I see a person in front of my house

An is used in front of words that begin with the vowels (a, i, u, e, o). For
example:
An umbrella → It is cloudy, I need an umbrella
An animal → An animal run to the cage
An English teacher → My sister is an English teacher

NOTE:
For the word begin with the letter u or h pronounced by vowel sound, it used
“an” as in an umbrella, an uncle, an hour, an honor. However, a is used if the
word begin with the u or h is consonant sound, as a university, a unit, a holiday and
a hotel.

Exercise 1
Put a or an in the blank!
1. Would you like.....apple.
2. It is not easy to get.....job at the moment,
3........university student walks across the building
4. I had ... sandwich and....orange juice for lunch
