  • 2. 

    Write the correct article: "a" or "an" My best friend is _____ student. 

    Explanation
    The correct article to use in this sentence is "a" because the word "student" begins with a consonant sound (/st/).

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Write the correct article: "a" or "an" Every day I eat ___ apple. 

    Explanation
    The correct article to use in this sentence is "an." This is because the word "apple" starts with a vowel sound. In English, we use "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound, and "a" before words that begin with a consonant sound. Since "apple" starts with the vowel sound "a," we use "an" before it.

  • 4. 

    Write the correct article: "a" or "an" Every Monday I eat ___ red apple. 

    Explanation
    The correct article to use in this sentence is "a" because the word "red" begins with a consonant sound. In English grammar, the article "a" is used before words that start with a consonant sound, while the article "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound. Since "red" is pronounced with a /r/ sound, which is a consonant sound, we use "a" before it.

  • 5. 

    Write the correct article: "a" or "an" It is raining today. Do you have ____ umbrella?

    Explanation
    In this sentence, the word "umbrella" starts with a vowel sound, specifically the sound /ʌ/. According to the rule of using "a" before consonant sounds and "an" before vowel sounds, we use "an" before words that start with a vowel sound. Therefore, the correct article to use in this sentence is "an".

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Write the correct article: "a" or "an" You have ____ ant on your shoulder. 

    Explanation
    The correct article to use in this sentence is "an" because the word "ant" begins with a vowel sound (/æ/). The rule for using "a" or "an" is based on the sound, not the actual letter. Since "ant" is pronounced with a vowel sound at the beginning, we use "an" before it.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Write the correct article: "a" or "an" I want to buy ____ dog.
