πŸ“˜βž‘οΈ 600 Confusing English Words Explained:


πŸ”΄ #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 didn’t have enough money, so I bought only one.

In all other cases, when the fact of being β€œone” 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 β€œuniform” 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)
