The following posts will be pairs of words from Set 1 chapter 1 of our class text. For each set I will write the rule and you will be required to demonstrate your understanding of the concept by writing an original sentence for each word in the set. Don’t do the math; it will seem larger than it is. Take it one pair at a time and “poof” you are done!
“Use an before a word that begins with a vowel sound ( a,e,I,o, plus u when it sounds like uh) or silent h. Note that it’s not the letter but the sound of the letter that matters.
An apple,
an essay,
an inch,
an onion,
an umpire,
an ugly design (the u’s sound like uh)
Use a before a word that begins with a consonant sound (all the sounds except the vowels, plus u or eu when they sound like you).
a chart,
a pie,
a history book (The h is not silent in history)
a union,
a uniform,
a unit (The u’s sound like you)
a European vacation, a euphemism (EU sounds like you)”
Review and when you are ready write 1 sentence for each word.
