What to Focus On

  • Articles are a type of adjective.
  • 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles.
  • 'The' is a definite article.
  • 'A' is used before consonant sounds.
  • 'An' is used before vowel sounds.
  • Sound matters, not spelling.
  • Used for specific or particular nouns.
  • Used when the noun has been mentioned before.
  • Used with unique things (e.g., the sun).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

We use 'a' before every word that starts with a consonant letter.

We always use 'the' before names of places like mountains, rivers, and countries.

We never use articles before names of meals like breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Memory Tips

A vs. An: Use 'a' before consonant sounds, 'an' before vowel sounds

Use 'a' before words like 'university', 'one', 'European'

Use 'an' before silent 'h' words like 'honest', 'hour'

Indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' mean 'one' and refer to any general thing
