A / An

The indefinte article is the same for all genders (male or female). We use "a" before words starting with a consonant, and "an" before words starting with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u).

- - - a boy, a girl, a man, a woman, a banana, a young person
    - an old boy, an ugly girl, an apple, an orange, an opera, an hour

The indefinte article has no plural form.

- a boy - boys

NOTE:

We use an before an h mute - an hour, an honour.

We use a before u and eu when they sound like 'you': a european, a university, a unit
