Grammar notes
🍎 One Thing, First Time (a / an)
Use a or an for one thing when it is not special yet. Use an before a vowel sound, like an apple. Use a before other sounds, like a banana. These little words help English say, “just one”.
- Example: an orange
- Example: a dog
Quick Rule
- an + vowel sound
- a + other sounds
Listen to the first sound. Your ears will choose the right article.
