 PENGGUNAAN “A” DAN “AN”
Definition :
In English, to identify that a noun is singular we put the word "a" or "an" in front of a
noun (in general). In addition, Indefinite articles such as "a" and "an" are also used
when we want to express a single number of objects which we don't know.

Dalam bahasa Inggris, untuk mengidentifikasi bahwa benda tersebut tunggal

(singular) kita memasang kata “a” atau “an” di depan sebuah kata benda (pada
umumnya). Selain itu, Indefinite articles seperti “a” dan “an” juga digunakan ketika
kita ingin menyatakan sebuah jumlah tunggal terhadap suatu benda yang mana
tidak kita ketahui.
Cara Penggunaan “A” and “An”

"A" is placed before a noun (noun) which begins with a consonant sound
(pronounced like a consonant sound) while "An" is placed before a noun (noun)
which begins with a vowel sound (pronounced like a vowel sound).

“A” diletakkan sebelum kata benda (noun) yang diawali dengan huruf konsonan
(diucapkan seperti huruf konsonan) sedangkan
“An” diletakkan sebelum kata benda (noun) yang diawali dengan huruf vokal
(diucapkan seperti huruf vokal).
Contoh Kalimat Penggunaan “A” dan “An”

 “A” digunakan saat berhadapan dengan kata benda berawalan huruf konsonan :
- A Book
- A Job
- A Student
 “An” digunakan saat berhadapan dengan kata benda berawalan huruf vokal :
- An Orange
- An Answer
- An Eagle
Penting untuk dicatat bahwa tidak semua kata benda yang
berawalan konsonan memiliki pengucapan yang serupa dengan
huruf konsonan pada umumnya. Ada beberapa kata berawalan
konsonan yang saat diucapkan dalam bahasa Inggris, terdengar
seperti berawalan huruf vokal. Begitu juga sebaliknya.

Jadi, ingat ya. Ini bukan soal penulisan, melainkan pengucapan.

 “An” digunakan saat berhadapan dengan kata benda berawalan huruf
konsonan namun berbunyi vokal
- An honor
- An hour

 “A” digunakan saat berhadapan dengan kata benda yang berawalan huruf
vokal namun berbunyi konsonan
- A university
- A unit
 PENGGUNAAN “THE”

'the' is used to denote a specific noun in a singular or plural form.

Kata ‘the’ dalam istilah bahasa Inggris disebut dengan ‘definite article’. Biasanya
artikel ‘the’ digunakan untuk menunjukkan kata benda (noun) yang spesifik
dalam bentuk singular (tunggal) ataupun plural (jamak).
