Introduction

In this chapter, we will learn about two small but important words called "A" and "An." These words are called articles, and they help us to talk about things in English. Let's explore how to use them correctly.

What are Articles?

• Articles are words we use before nouns (names of things, people, or places).
• There are two types of articles: "A" and "An."

Using "A"

• We use "A" before words that start with a consonant sound (like b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, etc.).
• For example:
  • I saw a cat in the garden.
  • She has a ball to play with.
  • There is a big car on the road.

Using "An"

• We use "An" before words that start with a vowel sound (like a, e, i, o, u).
• For example:
  • She is an artist.
