A or AN:

 We use A before a consonant sound. (a boy, a girl, a chair, a tree, a

car, etc.)
 We use AN before a vowel sound. (an apple, an ambulance, an
orange, an egg).
 U (in some words) and H are exceptions. In some words, we
pronounce the letter U like “Yu”. (ex: a ‘y’uniforme, a
‘y’university). But, we say an umbrella, because in the word
umbrella, the U is pronounced like “am” (vowel sound).
 In Portuguese language, we don’t pronounce the letter H. It’s
voiceless (homem, humano, habitat). But in English language, the
letter H is voiced, pronounced like “R” (consonant sound). So,
before words like hotel, human, helicopter, etc; we use A.

SOME, ANY, NO

 We use some in affirmative sentences, when we don’t have a

specific number/quantity. (Ex: I have some good friends / I
watched some movies last week).
 We use some in interrogative sentences, when we are
offering something to someone. (Ex: Do you want some
coffee? Would you like some water? Would you like some
piece of cake?).
 We use any in negative sentences (Ex: She doesn’t have any
pet / They don’t have any vehicle/ He doesn’t have any
friend). In these examples, ANY means 0.
 We use any in interrogative sentences to get information (Do
we have any money to go to the movies? / Do you know any
good films to recommend me? / Do you know any good
doctor?
 We use no in affirmative sentences, when the meaning of the
sentence is NEGATIVE. (Ex: He has no job. / I have no
money / They have no idea about that / She has no information
about that topic / I have no suggestions to give you). It
happens because in English, we NEVER have 2 negatives in
the SAME sentence (I don’t have no money = incorrect).
 SOMETHING, SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE

 Something: Used to talk about a non-specific thing. (Ex: He saw

something special about that girl / I have something to tell you / She
has something new to show you).
 Someone: Used to talk about any person, without specifying who
that person is. (Ex: Today I’m going to talk to someone who is very
important at my university / Someone told me that you wanted to
meet me / I’m going out now because I have a meeting with
someone).
 Somewhere: Used when we are talking about some place, without
saying exactly where/what that place is. (Ex: Sorry, I can’t talk to
you now. I have to go somewhere / She told me she was going
somewhere, so we couldn’t talk that time).
