Articles (A, An أدوات النكره

 Articles (A, An👩‍🚀 Rule

 The articles a and an are called indefinite articles. They are used to introduce a singular countable noun that is not specific or not already known to the speaker or the listener. For example, when you say "I saw a dog", you are not referring to any particular dog, but just a dog in general. 

The article a is used before a word that begins with a consonant sound. For example, "a book", "a car", "a university". The article an is used before a word that begins with a vowel sound. For example, "an apple", "an hour", "an elephant". Note that the choice of a or an depends on the sound, not the spelling, of the word. For example, we say "an hour" because hour begins with a vowel sound (/aʊər/), even though it is spelled with an h. We say "a university" because university begins with a consonant sound (/juːnɪvɜːsɪti/), even though it is spelled with a u. 🚀

🌃Notes :🌃

🌙 Some notes to remember about using a and an are:

- We do not use a or an with plural nouns or uncountable nouns. For example, we say "She has two cats" and "He likes coffee", not "She has a two cats" or "He likes a coffee".

- We do not use a or an when the noun is followed by a possessive adjective, such as my, your, his, her, etc. For example, we say "This is my book" and "She is his sister", not "This is a my book" or "She is an his sister".
