A + consonant sound (/b/, Idl, Ig/, If/, 11/, Ip/, etc.) a pen

an + vowel sound (/re/, lei, III, 10/, /al, etc.) an apple

1. A /An is used with singular countable nouns when we talk about things in general.

An aeroplane is faster than a train. A greengrocer sells vegetables.

(Which aeroplane? Aeroplanes in general.) (Which greengrocer? Greengrocers in general.)

2. We often use a /an after the verbs 'to be' and 'have I have got'.

He is a photographer. He has got a camera.

3. A /An is not used before an adjective if it is not followed by a noun. However, if the

adjective is followed by a noun, we use a if the adjective begins with a consonant

noun and an if the adjective begins with a vowel sound.

It's a ring. It's expensive. It's an expensive ring.

4. We do not use a /an with uncountable or plural nouns. We can use some instead.

Would you like some tea? Yes, please! And I'd like some biscuits.

(NOT Would you like a-tea?)

5. We use either a /an or the before a singular countable noun to represent a class

of people, animals or things.

A I The dolphin is more intelligent than a I the shark. (We mean dolphins and sharks in

general.)

ALSO: Dolphins are more intelligent than sharks.​
