📚 Identify Articles 📝
| What are Articles? |
Articles are special words that come before nouns to tell us which or how many.
There are 3 types of articles:
- a 🐶
- an 🍎
- the 🌟
| Types of Articles |
| Article | When to Use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| a 🐶 | Before a singular noun that starts with a consonant sound | a cat 🐱, a dog 🐕 |
| an 🍎 | Before a singular noun that starts with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u) | an apple 🍏, an elephant 🐘 |
| the 🌟 | When talking about a specific person, place, or thing | the sun ☀️, the school 🏫 |
| Easy Rules to Remember |
- “a” = 1, consonant sound 🎵
- “an” = 1, vowel sound 🎵
- “the” = specific 🌈
| Examples in Sentences |
- I saw a bird 🐦 in the tree.
- She ate an orange 🍊 for lunch.
- We went to the park 🏞️ yesterday.
| Tips & Trick |
Listen to the first sound, not the first letter! 👂
- Example: an hour ⏰ (h is silent → vowel sound)
Use “the” when everyone knows exactly which one you mean. 🏆
| Fun Emoji Activity! |
Underline the article in each sentence:
- I have a pencil ✏️.
- There is an ice cream 🍦 on the table.
- The moon 🌙 looks beautiful tonight.
