ARTICLES
UN-UNA
→What’s an article?
Is a word that goes before a noun, giving some basic information about the noun,
such as if it is singular or plural, or if the object is specific or general.
→Which are the English articles?
They are a, an, some and the. They are definite and indefinite articles.
There are three indefinite articles in English. Singular: A-an. Plural: Some.
→We use an indefinite article in English when:
• We refer to something for the first time.
• We refer to a general thing, and not something specific.
• We describe a person’s profession.
Both a and an have the same meaning but we use a in front of a consonant sound, and an in
front of a vowel sound. (a,e,I,o,u. ) Es decir, usamos a cuando la siguiente palabra inicia
con consonante. Usamos an, cuando la siguiente palabra inicia con vocal. Observe el
ejemplo:

A + CONSONANT AN + VOWELS
A CAR AN AEROPLANE
A LETTER AN EVELOPE
A TEACHER AN ACCOUNTANT
Here are some examples:
There’s a cat in the garden! -Hay un gato en el jardín.
I need a stamp for this letter. - Necesito un sello para esta carta.
Sally is an accountant. She works for a multinational company. - Sally es una contadora.
