<a> or <an>


Use “a” (before words that start with a consonant sound, like d, g, p, r, y….)

  • a pizza
  • a sandwich
  • 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)
  • a uniform (sounds like “you-niform,” starts with a “y” sound → consonant)

Use “an” (before words that start with a vowel sound [a,e,i,o,u])

  • an apple
  • an ice cream
  • an orange
  • an egg
  • an orange juice
  • an hour (silent “h,” starts with vowel sound)
  • an elephant

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

  • “u” in university → sounds like “you” → use a
  • “u” in umbrella → sounds like “uh” → use an
