Key Topics to Revise

Understanding 'A' and 'An'

  • We use 'a' before words that begin with a consonant sound.
  • We use 'an' before words that begin with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).
  • It does not matter how the word is spelled — only the sound matters.

Using 'The'

  • We use 'the' when talking about a specific thing that is already known.
  • We use 'the' for unique things like the sun, the moon, the earth.
  • We also use 'the' when we mention something again in a sentence.
