Good evening my Friends, I hope everyone here in is fine.

A/An/One

Use "One" when the number is important ; when you want to emphasize that it is ''only just One":

1.) "One" of these egss is rotten,but the others are OK.

2.) I wanted to buy three CDs,but I didn't have enough money, I bought only "One".

In all other cases, when the fact of being "One" is not important, use A/An :

1.) I had "an" omelet for breakfast.

2.) I bought a new CD yesterday.

What about the difference between "A" and "An" ?

We use "An" before words beginning with a "Vowel Sound", and "A" before all the other words :

1.) "An" apple/ "A" banana
2.) "An" ice cream/ "A" piece of cake
3.) "An" egg/ "A" carrot
4.) "An" omelet/ "A" steak
5.) "An" umbrella/ "A" uniform
( Because "uniform" is pronounced "Yuniform")

6.) "An" hour/ "A" hat
(We use "An" with "hour" because the letter "H" in "hour" is silent, but the "H" in "hat" is not.

End
