Question

He will be back in ...... hour.

Answer 1

he will be back in an hour

Answer 2

He will be back in an hour.

Explanation:

• Here we have to write down the most appropriate Article so that the sentence becomes meaningful and grammatically acceptable.

• Since the word 'hour' sounds like a vowel, we write 'an' before it.

• This also happens for many other words that sound like starting with a vowel but actually written with a consonant.

• For example, He is an honorable man., and here the word 'honorable' begins with a consonant but still since it sounds like a vowel we write 'an' before it.

• There are two types of articles Definite and Indefinite. 'A' and 'An' are indefinite articles where 'the' is the only definite article.
