Using a and an

Assalamualaikum.

Good morning every one. Well, this is my first lesson to share you all through this blog about learning English. In this hapyy occasion, I am going to explain how to use article 'a' and 'an' in English.
'a' is used before a singular noun begins with consonants.
For example:

a table a book a chair

In the example above, the word 'table' begins with a consonant 't',
the word 'book' begins with a consonant 'b', and
the word 'chair' begins with a consonant 'c'
'an' is used before a singular noun begins with vowel (a, i, u, e, o)
For instance:

an orange an apple an eraser
In the example above, the word 'orange' begins with a vowel 'o',
the word 'apple' begins with a vowel 'a', and
the word 'eraser' begins with a vowel 'e'

INCORRECT:




an dog the word 'dog' begins with a consonant 'd' not a vowel.






a octopus the word 'octopus' begins with a vowel 'o', not a consonat.

CORRECT: a dog
an octopus

EXCEPTION: For a singular noun begins with a 'vowel' but it is pronounced 'consonant'. The article 'a' is used, not 'an'.
For example: A university INCORRECT: an university
