Answer 2

Answer:

The error in the given sentence is 'an'. Therefore the correct sentence is : I met a European yesterday.

Explanation :

• Articles are of of two types, one is Indefinite Article and other is Definite Article. 'A' and 'an' are Indefinite article and 'the' is a definite article.

• An is used before the word that starts with vowel sound or vowel letter : An appple, an eagle, an hour etc. 'A' is used before the word that starts with consonant sound or consonant letter : a tiger, a pen, a book etc.

• Here European's 'e' is a vowel letter but it sounds like 'u', that's why 'a' is correct instead of 'an'.
