00:00:05,250 --> 00:00:10,769
Yee-haw! Hello, cowboys! Today I'm going to explain the difference between

2
00:00:10,769 --> 00:00:15,890
a and an. Are you ready? Sure you are! So here we go!

3
00:00:19,550 --> 00:00:28,829
A and an have the same meaning. They are both indefinite articles.

4
00:00:29,789 --> 00:00:34,990
But when do we use a and when do we use an?

5
00:00:34,990 --> 00:00:45,329
the difference depends on the sound at the beginning of the next word when the

6
00:00:45,329 --> 00:00:59,490
next word starts with a consonant sound we use the article a here as you can see

7
00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:11,189
we find book book starts with B the sound book so we use a book it happens

8
00:01:11,189 --> 00:01:21,629
the same with pen pen starts with the letter P it's a consonant sound so we

9
00:01:21,629 --> 00:01:37,500
use a pen and finally we find cat it starts with the letter C cat but when

10
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:47,209
When the next word starts with a vowel sound, we are going to use an.

11
00:01:47,209 --> 00:01:54,790
Here we find apple, orange, actor, apple.

12
00:01:54,790 --> 00:02:00,870
It begins with the vowel a, a, a, apple.

13
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:05,049
It's a vowel sound, so we use an, an apple.

14
00:02:05,049 --> 00:02:08,310
It happens the same with orange.

15
00:02:08,310 --> 00:02:17,300
Orange starts with the vowel O, an orange, an actor.
