• The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a
noun that is general or when its identity is
not known.
• We call the the definite article and a/an the
indefinite article. For example, if I say, "Let's
read the book," I mean a specific book. If I
say, "Let's read a book," I mean any book
rather than a specific book.
•Use the article a before a consonant
sound, and use an before a vowel sound.
•a boy, an apple.
•an unhappy boy, a red apple.
•an apple, some apples
•`The U in university is pronounced with a long ‘u’ sound
which sounds like ‘yew’ and is written as j in the
phonetic alphabet. So, although the letter is a vowel, it
is not pronounced like one in 'university' because it
does not have a vowel sound. We therefore say ‘a
university’.
• A uniform
• A European
•The U in umbrella is pronounced as a
vowel sound ( Λ using the phonetic
alphabet) and so we use ‘an’. We
therefore say ‘an umbrella’.
• This rule also applies to the use of consonants.

• The word hour has a soft ‘h’ which is weakly pronounced and
therefore we say ‘an hour’.

• If the word has a hard ‘h’, like house, we use ‘a’ (a house).
