Specific Noun
If you notice in both sentences we have the , whyyyy???? How many skies do we have? 10?
11?noooo..its just 1 sky in the universe, so sky here is acting as your noun and the is the
article because you know that youve spotted the a start in the sky.
I hope you are clear with this.. You know when to use A.It is used when you do not have
an idea about a thing..its just in general ..that you are talking about whereas THE you
would use it when you know what you are talking about, particularly if you are talking about
something you know it and thats exactly whenyou use the article THE.
AN - indefinite/Vowel
I bought an umbrella
Here, , this is an indefinite article but why are we not saying?? I bought a umbrella
thats not correctIll tell you whybecause umbrella is your noun, however, it starts
with the letter U and U it a vowel, so here, AN is a very simple article and easy to
usebecause I know AN comes before a vowel
I will be back in an hour
AN is again a indefinite article, but Hour has an H and this is a consonantbut it is
pronounce as our..the H is silent here..
So always remember, that AN would come before a vowel or a vowel sound
I am an Honest person.
Here honest has a vowel sound..
A General = any
AN: Use before a Vowel or vowel sound
THE Specific = you choose
