Lesson 1: a warm-up activity
Let's start with a warm-up activity, just to get the hang of it.
The indefinite articles
You use 'An' before a word that starts with a vowel.
Vowels are: a, e, o, i, u and sometimes y
You use 'A' before a word that strart with a consonant.
Consonants are all leters that aren't vowels.
Is that all?
No, there's a catch to this rule.
We determine the use of a or an depending on the way you pronounce a word, not on the way the word is spelled.
Therefore it's not 'an university', but 'a university'.
And it's not 'a hour', it's 'an hour'.
