Question

I am reading ----excellent book. It is about ----scientist.
fill in the blank with articles

Answer 1

Answer:

I am reading an excellent book. It is about a scientist.

Explanation:

The pronouns a and an are indefinite pronouns.

A is used before consonant sounds, while an is used before vowel sounds.

The word 'sounds' is used here for a reason. Let's say, the word honest. Though it has a constant for its starting letter, it is pronounced 'onest', and the h is silent.

The pronouns the is used before words which have been mentioned before and names of things. Note that the is not used before names of people. The is used before countries which have words like United, and other such words in them.

To learn more, I suggest you read the book, 'Wren and Martin', which I, and many others, have found extremely useful for English purposes.

I hope this helps!
