Articles a / an

Explanation

English puts a small word — an article — before a singular countable noun. Use "a" before a consonant sound (a student, a teacher) and "an" before a vowel sound (an office worker, an apple). It follows the SOUND, not the letter. Use "the" for a specific, known one (the doctor here). Many languages have no articles, so it is easy to drop them — but "He is teacher" is wrong; say "He is a teacher".

Examples

  • He's a teacher. She's a doctor.He's a teacher. She's a doctor.
  • She's an office worker.She's an office worker.
  • I'm a student. The doctor is here.I'm a student. The doctor is here.
