I have ___ one rupee note that has become rare.

Answer 1

A correct article can be filled in as follows:

I have a one rupee note that has become rare.

Why do we use article 'a' in the above statement?

• In the field of English grammar, article 'a' is used before common words which do not begin with a vowel sound.
• Although the word 'one' begins with the vowel' 'o' but the initial sound of the word begins with a 'w'.
• Hence, the correct article to be used here will be 'a'.
