πŸ“š Quick Study Guide

  • 🍎 'A' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound. For example, a cat, a house, a car. Think about the *sound*, not just the letter!
  • 🍊 'An' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u). For example, an apple, an egg, an igloo. Again, focus on the sound.
  • ⏰ Watch out for exceptions! Words like 'hour' start with a consonant *letter* but a vowel *sound*, so we say 'an hour'. Similarly, 'university' starts with a vowel letter but a consonant sound, so we say 'a university'.
  • πŸ–ΌοΈ Look at the images carefully! The picture will help you determine the correct word and article.
