    Use "a" before words starting with consonant sounds and "an" before words starting with vowel sounds. Some exceptions are words starting with "y" or "w" which take "a" instead of "an" despite sounding like vowels. The document provides examples of when to use "a", "an", and no article at all with singular nouns based on their sounds.

    Use a before a singular noun that starts with a consonant sound. Ex: a candle, a doll, a boy

    I'm a Brazilian actor
    I’m a smart Boy

    He is an important singer
    She is an actress

    A bear is an animal
    Pedro is a doctor and Marta is an artist

    Hour, honor, honest, heir


     European, universe, universal, unique, university

    Atenção: apesar das letras Y e W soarem como vogais para nós, usa-se a (e não an) à frente de
    palavras que começam com essas letras. Veja estes exemplos:
