Listen to the following example:

There is a banana.

There is an apple.

There is a pear.

There is an orange.

Let me explain...

1 object

(that starts with a vowel: a, e, i, o, u)

1 object

(that doesn't start with a vowel)

AN

We use AN and not A, when the object starts with a, e, i, o, u, with a vowel.

We use "a" or "an" to talk about one thing.

Let's refresh some examples!

There is an elephant.

There is a dog.

There is an igloo.

There is a cat.

There is an octopus.

Let's revise what we've learnt:

house

AN

We use A before a word that doesn't start with a vowel.

We use AN before a word that starts with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u).
