He is... European but his wife.... American. Which article can be use in this sentence.
Answers
Answer:
The article 'an' can be used in the above sentence. This is so because there are many Europeans as well as Americans in the world hence it's a common noun so we can't use the article 'the'. now, we can't use the article 'a' because 'e' and 'a' are vowels and with vowels, the article 'an' is used
Hope this is clear

Answer:
He is a European but his wife is anAmerican
Explanation:
It must be boring to read but just for knowledge.'
' A European ' is a correct structure based on the rules of vowel and consonant sounds in the English language . When we use indefinite articles A and An , we should not focus on the first letter rather we should clearly listen to the first sound of the letter . Hindi or Devanagari alphabet is the most scientific one in the world because its sound- pattern is the aftermath of the constant labour of many linguists , grammarians , thinkers , and scholars who embellished it with their natural intelligence .
The five vowels ( a,e,i,o,u ) of the English language are not sufficient to make the usage of A and An perfect . Celebrated linguist and phonetician Panini is said to be the first personality who showed ten pure vowel sounds :
A aa i ii u uu e ai o au .
If a word begins with any of the vowel sounds mentioned above , we should use ' An ' . E.g.
An orange . An elephant . An hour . An heir . An LIC agent .
Except ten vowel sounds , the rest sounds are consonants which take ' A ' .E.g.
A book . A university . A year .
In ' university ' the first sound is ' y ' , not ' u ' , according to Panini and , consequently the correct phrase will be :
' A European ' not ' An European ' .
