Indefi nite Arti cles – a and an
We use a before a consonant sound.
a cupboard a bottle of milk a duck’s egg
We use an before a vowel sound.

A and an are called indefinite articles because when we use a or an it is not
important which particular person or thing we are talking about.
A park can be any park. We are not specifying which park.
An Englishman can be any Englishman. We are not specifying which
Englishman.
We don’t use a or an with plural or uncountable nouns.
