DISCUSSION

An article is used to
modify or refer to a
noun.
We use a/an before a naming
word that shows one person,
place, thing and animal.
We use a if the naming
word begins with a
consonant;
an is used when the
naming words begin
with a vowel.
These rules apply to all
words after a or an
(including adjectives.)
Examples:
a coconut
a banana
a school
a dog
a bottle
an avocado
an umbrella
an alligator
an egg
an octopus
