Indefinite Article
The English indefinite article, a, an, one, is used
to refer to something unspecific.
| I bought a car |
| He saw a bird |
| There's a book on the table |
| Do you have a pen? |
The indefinite article an is used in front of words that begin
with a vowel sound, which does not necessarily correspond to the letter
that the word actually begins with.
| I bought an apple |
| That's an interesting idea |
| I have to wait an hour |
| We have an understanding |
| They bought a house |
| He has a unique idea |
The indefinite article one - which is also a number -
indicates that there is only one of something.
| I bought one apple |
| He has one brother |
| I only saw one car |
