Question

He is admitted to........hospital (a,an,the)​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\mathcal{HE \; \; IS \; \; ADMITTED \; \; TO \; \; \bold{\boxed{\mathcal{A}}} \; \; HOSPITAL.}$

Explanation:

The options provided in the bracket are called Articles. In other words, A, An and The are called articles. Articles are used before nouns to show weather the noun is general or specific. If the noun is general, the articles a and an are used. If the noun is specific, the article the is used.

Now, a question arises that when to use a and when to use an because both of them are used for general nouns. This requires us to learn the concept of vowels.

In English language, just like in hindi we have swar and vayanjan, we have vowels and consonants. The sounds a, e, i, o and u are called vowels and before the word that sound like a, e, i, o, u in the beginning, the article an is used. For all words whose start doesn't sound like a, e, i, o, u, the article a is used.

Also note that all other sounds except a, e, i, o, u are called consonants.

Now coming to your question, the noun here is hospital. First, we need to check that it is a general noun or specific noun. For example, if it simply hospital, then it is hospital in general. Here we are not talking about any particular hospital. If for example it would have been City Hospital or XYZ Hospital, then we are taking about a specific hospital, not all hospitals in general.

For the latter, the article the would have been used. However, in your question, we are talking hospitals in general. So, either a or an would be used.

Since the word hospital starts from the sound of 'h', the article a would be used here.

So, the answer to your question is:

$\mathcal{HE \; \; IS \; \; ADMITTED \; \; TO \; \; \bold{\boxed{\mathcal{A}}} \; \; HOSPITAL.}$
