Key Topics to Revise

1

Understanding Vowels and Consonants

  • There are 26 letters in the English alphabet.
  • Out of these, 5 letters are vowels: a, e, i, o, u.
  • All the other letters are consonants.
2

Using 'A' and 'An'

  • 'A' is used before words that start with a consonant sound.
  • 'An' is used before words that start with a vowel sound.
  • The sound matters, not the spelling. For example, 'hour' starts with 'h' but sounds like 'our', so we say 'an hour'.
3

Using 'The'

  • 'The' is used when we talk about a specific person, place, or thing that is already known.
  • We use 'the' for things that are one of a kind, like the sun, the moon, the earth.
  • Also used with unique places like the Ganga, the Taj Mahal, the Gita.
