Pairing Indefinite Articles with More Nouns

Worksheet Description

Students deal with a wider variety of nouns in this worksheet. They will then write the correct indefinite article “a” or “an” to go with each, ensuring their answers follow the grammar rules. The rules for using indefinite articles in English are as follows:

1. “A” is used before singular countable nouns that begin with a consonant sound.
2. “An” is used before singular countable nouns that begin with a vowel sound.
3. Indefinite articles are used to refer to any one member of a group or category. They do not specify a particular or specific noun.
4. Indefinite articles are not used with plural nouns or non-countable nouns.
5. Indefinite articles are used to introduce a noun phrase for the first time. Subsequent references to the same noun in the same context generally use the definite article “the.”

By following these rules, students can correctly use indefinite articles to indicate nonspecific or general nouns in their writing and communication.
