Key notes :

📝 What is an article?

👉 Articles are small words we use before nouns (naming words).
👉 They tell us about one thing.

Article “a” 🍎

We use a before words that start with a consonant sound (b, c, d, f, g…z).

✅ Example:

• a 🐱 cat
• a 🚗 car
• a 🎒 bag
• a 🐕 dog

Article “an” 🥚

We use an before words that start with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).

✅ Example:

• an 🍎 apple
• an 🐘 elephant
• an 🏠 igloo
• an 🦉 owl
• an 🥭 umbrella

🌟 Golden Rule

• Use a before consonants.
• Use an before vowels.
