A-an

Es lo mismo que decir en español “un/una”, ambos van antes que un sustantivo y se
diferencian en lo siguiente:
 A: se usa antes de una consonante: A house A man A bug
 An: se usa antes de una vocal: An elephant An ice An apartment

solo 1 objeto y no terminar en -s

 There is __ hospital in this town.
