LET US KNOW

We have already learnt to use a, an and the.

Can you try to fill the blanks below with a, an and the?

This is a ball.

There is an Ink bottle.

The sun is hot.

This is an owl.

These words are known as articles. Let us learn how to use them again!

We use an before words that begin with the sounds of a,e,i,o and u.

an apple

an umbrella

an orange

an hour

We use a when the words begin with any other sound.

a car

a bat

a ball

a university

Why we use an for hour and a for university?

This is because hour sounds like ox and orange in the beginning so we use an. Similarly, the word university even though starts with the letter ‘u’ has the same sound as yellow or yak in the beginning so we use a.

Write a or an.

Why don't we use an for home and not a for umbrella?

a book ; an ant ; a chair ; an egg ; a pot ; an inn ; a flag ; a unicorn

We already know that the is used when we talk of a particular thing. The article, the is also used before the names of unique things like mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, famous books and directions.
