    • a fish
    • a bread
    • a soup
    • a friend
    • a cat
    • a dog
    • a restaurant
    • a university (sounds like “you-niversity,” starts with a “y” sound → consonant)

    • an orange juice
    • an hour (silent “h,” starts with vowel sound)

    Tip: Listen to the first sound, not just the letter:
