ARTICLES
First the good news: we don´t have many articles, we just have: a, an and the. Some and any are no articles but these are considerate indefinite for plural.
There are two types of articlesindefinite 'a' and 'an' or definite 'the'. You also need to know when not to use an article.
The bad news is that their proper use is complex, especially when you get into the advanced use ofEnglish. Quite often you have to work it out by what sounds right, which can be frustrating for a learner.
Indefinite articles - a and an (determiners)
A and an are the indefinite articles. They referto something not specifically known to the person you are communicating with.
A and an are used before nouns that introduce something or someone you have not mentioned before:-
For example: "I saw anelephant this morning."
"I ate a banana for lunch."
A and an are also used when talking about your profession:-
For example: "I am an English teacher."
"I am a builder."
Note! You use a whenthe noun you are referring to begins with a consonant (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y or z), for example, "a city", "a factory", and "a hotel".
You use an when the nounyou are referring to begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u)
Pronunciation changes this rule. It's the sound that matters, not the spelling.

If the next word begins with a consonant sound when we sayit, for example, "university" then we use a. If the next word begins with a vowel sound when we say it, for example "hour" then we use an.
We say "university" with a "y" sound at the beginning asthough it were spelt "youniversity".
So, "a university" IS correct.
We say "hour" with a silent h as though it were spelt "our".
So, "an hour" IS correct.
(Lots of people get this wrong - includingnative speakers.)
You use the when you know that the listener knows or can work out what particular person/thing you are talking about.
