Understanding the Use of Articles "A" and "An"
Introduction to Articles

Articles "a" and "an" are used to introduce

singular countable nouns in English. The
choice between "a" and "an" depends on the
sound at the beginning of the noun that
follows.
 Basic Rules for Using Articles
The Rules • A: Use before a noun that begins with a consonant sound.
• An: Use before a noun that begins with a vowel sound.
• Example: "a cat," "an apple"

Articles with Adjectives

• If there is an adjective between the article and the noun, the
choice between "a" and "an" depends on the first sound of
the adjective.
• Examples:
• "a big apple" (not "an apple")
• "an interesting book" (not "a book")
Example Sentences

• Monita is going to make a cake.

• I have a glass of milk and an

omelet for breakfast.
When Not to Use Articles

We don’t usually use articles for:

• People's names: My best friend is called

Nuno.
• Countries: Is he from Malaysia?
• Meals: I have breakfast at 7 o'clock.
