πβ‘οΈ 600 Confusing English Words Explained:
π΄ #1 a / an / one
Use one when the number is important; when you want to emphasize that it is only one (and not two or three or more):
- One of these eggs is rotten, but the others are OK.
- I wanted to buy three CDs, but I didnβt have enough money, so I bought only one.
In all other cases, when the fact of being βoneβ is not important, use a / an:
- I had an omelet for breakfast.
- I bought a new CD yesterday.
What about the difference between a and an?
Β We use an before words beginning with a vowel sound, and a before all other words:
- an apple / a banana
- an ice cream cone / a piece of cake
- an egg / a carrot
- an omelet / a steak
- an umbrella / a uniform (because βuniformβ is pronounced yuniform)
- an hour / a hat (we use an with hour because the H in hour is silent, but the H in hat is not)
