Question

6. Correct the sentence and re-write
I saw an one-eyed person the other day. ?

Answer 1

Answer:

I saw a one-eyed person the the other day.

Explanation:

The general rule is to use “an” in front of a word which starts with a vowel, but this is an exception. The word “one” starts out with a “w” sound (sounds like “won”) therefore, we would say “a one-eyed.”

Answer 2

Answer:

I saw an one-eyed person the other day.

Correct sentence: I saw a one-eyed person the other day.

Reason:

The indefinite article 'a' is used when the noun following it begins with a consonant sound and the indefinite article 'an' is used when the noun following it begins with a vowel sound. In the given sentence, the indefinite article 'a' will be used before the word 'one' as it begins with a consonant sound.
