What to Focus On

  • Vowels: a, e, i, o, u
  • All other letters are consonants
  • We decide between 'a' and 'an' based on the sound, not just the letter
  • Use 'a' before consonant sounds: a book, a dog, a tree
  • Use 'an' before vowel sounds: an apple, an egg, an umbrella
  • Silent letters change the sound: 'hour' sounds like 'our' → 'an hour'
  • Use 'the' for specific things: the book I read, the house we live in
  • Use 'the' with unique things: the sun, the moon, the earth
  • Use 'the' with famous places: the Taj Mahal, the Ganga, the Gita

Common Mistakes to Avoid

We use 'an' only before words that start with vowels like a, e, i, o, u.

We always use 'the' when talking about something we mentioned before.

If a word starts with 'u', we always use 'an'.

Memory Tips

Vowels are a, e, i, o, u

Use 'a' before consonant sounds

Use 'an' before vowel sounds

Use 'an' before silent consonants like 'h' in 'hour'
