Lesson One
a/an
Say: Mary's got an M.A. in English
(Not a M.A. in English)
Say: She's got a Master's degree
(Not an Master's degree)
Remember!
1. We place a/an according to sounds not letters (a + consonant sound) (an + vowel sound)
2. The word facetious -means funny- contains all the vowels in the alphabetical order
3. Words like honorable, heir, hour and honest should be preceded by an not aan honest man, an hour
Think! Why do we say
a unit - a user - a union - a uniform - a university - a usual - a utility
But we say
an umbrella - an upper - an urban - an updated - an underground
All the best
