Differential
That was really informative. Nice !
My qn : When to use A, An and The ? Explanation with examples would be appreciated.
A, An and The are articles
A/An refer to non-specific nouns
eg. I am going to watch
a movie.
He ate
an egg.
If a noun begins with a consonant,
A is used.
eg.
A man,
A dog...etc
If a noun begins with a vowel,
An is used
eg.
An apple,
An order...etc
But the use also depends on the sound of the vowel. If a vowel has a consonant sound in a word, then
A is used instead of
An.
eg.
A university (U is pronounced as Yoo),
A user..etc
Whereas in the sentence.....
An unusual event occurred yesterday...the pronunciation of U is completely different.
Similarly
An Umbrella,
An Underwater city.....etc
The refers to specific nouns
eg. I saw
the movie you were talking about.
Have you read
the book.
The source of the following quoted text is #-Link-Snipped-#
