Question

my father teaches in .............. university. a/an/the​

Answer 1

My father teaches in a university.

Explanation:

1. There is a blank in the sentence given in the question. We are asked to fill the blank with an appropriate article from the given options 'a', 'an' and 'the'.

2. The suitable article in the blank will be 'a'. Therefore, the sentence becomes: My teacher teaches in a university.

3. There are 3 kinds of articles. These are - 'a', 'an' and 'the'. The article 'a' is singular in nature and is used before a word having consonant sound of first letter of that word. 'An' is also singular in nature and is used before a word having the sound of a vowel (a e i o u).

4. It's important to remember that the article 'an' is not used before any word seeing a vowel letter. It is used before a word if the first letter of that word has the sound of a vowel.

5. In this question, 'a' is used before university and not 'an' because the the first letter of university is 'u' (a vowel) but gives the sound of 'y' (a consonant) while pronouncing 'university'. Therefore, 'a university' is correct.

6. Therefore, the sentence 'My father teaches in a university is correct'.

Answer 2

a

Here we can write down the complete sentence like this -

My father teaches in a university.

Here the question is in the form of fill in the blanks and three options are given, so we have to choose the appropriate article from the given options to make it meaningful sentence.

• Here in this sentence a article is most appropriate because after the blank the next word is University. Though the word University begins with a vowel but it does not create a vowel sound. Rather it creates consonant sound so we have to use a article before University.

• There are some more words which begin with vowel but when we pronounce those words they create consonant sound so we have to use a article before them.

Just like union.

Sometimes words begin with consonant but if their pronunciation is like a vowel we have to use an article before them.

Examples an hounrable,

an M.A.

Here we cannot use the article because we are not talking about any particular University.

• The article is used when we talk about a particular thing or a thing which is very rare or unique.
• We can also use the article before the superlative form of degree.
• We can use the article before a thing which is only one in the world like the moon the Sun The Himalaya , The Ganga, the Taj Mahal ,etc.
