A, An and The

Read through the following sentences and decide if they need a, an, the or no word. I must be in a good mood today because I've decided to be generous; you can use these points to help you choose the right answers!

Points to remember

• We do not use a/an with uncontable nouns.
• Use an for words that begin with a silent h.
• We use the with names of places.
• Don't use the when you are talking about things generally.
• Letters f,h,l,m,n,r,s,x and a,e,i,o, when used alone, are used with an.
• We use the with nationalities.
• Use an with countable nouns that begin with vowel sounds.
• Use the with superlative adjectives.
• Do not use an,a or the with adjectives on their own.
• Use a with words that start with a u but are pronounced with a y.
