The indefinite article a is the same for all genders:


  • a boy
  • a girl
  • a cat

  • The indefinite article has no plural form

    a boy boys not a boys

    We use a if the following word starts with a consonant:

  • a boy
  • a school
  • a car

  • Mind the pronunciation of the following word

    The first sound we speak is [j], so we use a → a unit



We use an if the following word starts with a spoken vowel.
  • an aunt
  • an old school
  • an American girl

  • Mind the pronunciation of the following word

    The first sound we speak is [ʌ], so we use an → an uncle
