What to Focus On

  • Articles show whether a noun is particular or general.
  • English has three articles: a, an, and the.
  • A and an are indefinite articles.

  • A is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.
  • An is used before words that begin with a vowel sound.
  • The choice depends on sound, not letter.

  • Before countable nouns in the singular.
  • In the sense of one and with the meaning of each.
  • With fractions, prices, weights, measures, speeds, and similar expressions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A and an depend on the first letter of the word, not the sound.

Few and little mean the same thing as a few and a little.

The is always needed before singular nouns because it makes the noun specific.
