Question

portugal is _ european country suitable vowels.

​

Answer 1

ANSWER

Portugal is a European country.

REASON

Europe starts with a vowel 'e' but we don't use 'an' in front of Europe because Europe is pronounced like 'Yurope', so it seems like it starts with the letter y.

Use of 'a' and 'an' doesn't depend on the letter, it depends on sound.

Another example is the word 'honest'. Though it starts with h, we use 'an' in front of it instead of 'a' because h is silent and it sounds like 'onest'.
