13. A/ AN
We use A for singular nouns and when the
noun begins with a consonant.
Example: There is a sofa in the living room
We use AN for plural nouns and when the
noun begins with a vowel.
Example: There is an umbrella on the table.
We use AN when the words start with the
consonant “ h” because it is not pronounced.
Example: I was waiting for an hour.
