| Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. | ||||
|
||||
| Indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' are placed before singular countable nouns. We do not put 'a' or 'an' before a plural noun because 'a' or 'an' means one. | ||||
|
'A' is placed before a noun that begins with a consonant and the 'u' sound. For example: - A lion - A book - A temple - A university - A European man |
||||
|
'An' is placed before a noun that begins with a vowel and before the silent 'h'. For example: - An ant - An umbrella - An apple - An honest lady - An hour |
