The use of indefinite
and
definite articles
A, ANorTHE
And
PLURAL OF NOUNS
A and AN
A and An are indefinite articles.
Both of them works with singular
nouns.
3
How do we use them?
with consonants.
For example:
A car.
A plane.
A beautiful doll.
02/14/15 Teacher Danitza Lazcano F. 6
In both cases, the recognition
was visual.
But we can also recognize the
use of these articles by using
our hear.
7
We can use A before the vowel u
and before the dipthonge eu,
when it sounds like the word
‘you’(/ju /ː )
Here we have some examples:
A university
/ ju n v rs ti/ə ˌ ː ɪˈ ɜː ə
A European city
/ j r pi n s ti/ə ˌ ʊ əˈ ːə ˈ ɪ
What happened with h words?
We use an before words that begin
with a silent h like the word hour.
An hour
/ n a r/ə ˈ ʊə
We use A with a hard h like the
word house.
A house
/ ha s/ə ʊ
