    It's always good to review the basics. Some people forget that it's the SOUND that's important for determining whether to use "a" or "an" and not the head letter of the noun. This is really the trickiest part of it for some students, but it becomes easier with practice. It works with some adjectives preceding nouns as well.
    An honest person. (aw-nist)
    A European villa.
    Nice one, Gill!

    August 20, 2022 - After trying to get my question just right for Google search to answer my question regarding the use of "a" and "an". Google search finally offered this video along with some others. Thank you to Gill for very clearly explaining how and why those words should be used. I know a lot of people wish they had her as their teacher in school like I do.

    Thank you for this video. Not only is it great information for my students, but the first half is wonderful for having them practice note-taking without overwhelming them.

      Franco Manevy jaja Y yo escribiendo en inglés...
      Lo sé, pero muchas personas por un período muy corto de tiempo me dicen lo mismo. Hace rato tengo esa imágen, y no siempre me dicen eso, y cada vez que alguien se da cuenta, me alegra ajja. Pero últimamente casi todos los días me ponen "Björk💜"
      "Aww te gusta björk" y cosas de esas jaja.
      Es muy "reconocida" pero poco "conocida". Mucho menos desde este lado del charco... Yo vivo en Argentina...

    Thank you for the lesson! It's so insightful. I've just seen a video by a native English teacher and unfortunately, she uses letters to determine what article to use, which is misleading. It's all about sounds and whether the noun is singular, countable, or uncountable.

    For whatever reason it just drives me nuts when Americans or English people who have lived there for at least several generations do not know the difference between when to use a or when do you use an .... it irritates me to no end to hear people say something like that is an beautiful car .... how can they not tell that it sounds really screwed up ? And it drives me nuts when people sound as if they're talking like a four-year-old when they say something like I want a apple . I'm not talking about foreigners and I'm not talkin about people whose family has only been here for a short time . I don't know why this irks me so much but it really does .

    Thank you for the nice video, even though I still have a little question about the use of ‘a’ and ‘an’. What happens when you have a noun which is an acronym? If SS stands for ‘source separation’, is it ‘a SS method’, or ‘an SS method’?
    Thanks again
    Cheers!

    • @engvidGill
      @engvidGill  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      hi Raul -- it's 'an SS method' because the letter S is pronounced 'ess', so it begins with a vowel sound :-)
