Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students practice identifying and correcting the misuse of the articles “a” and “an” in sentences. Each sentence on the worksheet contains an error where the wrong article has been used. Students are tasked with rewriting each sentence correctly, ensuring that the appropriate article matches the sound of the word that follows. The exercise requires students to actively engage with the text, enhancing their attention to detail and reinforcing the grammatical rules they’ve learned. By correcting these sentences, students develop a sharper eye for grammatical accuracy in their writing.

This worksheet teaches students to recognize and correct common mistakes involving the articles “a” and “an.” By requiring students to rewrite sentences, the activity reinforces the rule that “a” is used before consonant sounds and “an” before vowel sounds. The errors in the sentences are deliberately placed to challenge students’ understanding and encourage them to think critically about article usage. Through this exercise, students improve their grammar skills, particularly in identifying subtle differences in pronunciation that affect article choice. The hands-on correction process helps solidify their understanding and ensures they can apply these rules confidently in their writing.
