A and An

Can I help the Internet? Can I finish?



When using "A" or "An" it is important to remember one thing.

When a word starts with a vowel, then you use "an" before the word in a sentence, if it is a normal consonant, then you use "a" before the word.


Example:

A cat
A dog
A mouse
A horse

An eagle
An alligator
An ostrich
An Uncle Buck.

Ok? Now what about Then and Than? Or Your and You're? How are we doing on those Internet?

People usually get this confused... Prepositions are tough... "At Pinworm" is commonly mistaken with what should be "IN Pinworm"
