- Use an before a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).

Worked Example 1
Word: apple
Apple begins with a vowel sound.
Correct: an apple ✓

a dùng trước âm phụ âm: a cake, a shop.
an dùng trước âm nguyên âm: an apple, an orange.
Hãy nghe âm đầu của từ để chọn đúng.

One Thing and Many Things
A plural noun means more than one thing.
| Singular | Plural |
