Question

Would you like __(1)__ orange? Or would you prefer ____(2)____ banana? We also have ___(3)___ strawberries.

Answer 1

The answers are given below:

1. an Orange

2. a banana

3. some strawberries.

Explanation:

1) Would you like an orange?

• In the first sentence, 'an' is used before orange. Since 'orange' is a singular form, 'some' cannot be used here. Also, 'a' cannot be used before orange. It is because the 'orange' word starts with a vowel sound 'o', therefore 'an' is used before it.

2) Or would you prefer a banana?

• In the second sentence, we can see that the clause is a talking about a single banana. Therefore article 'a' is used before the word 'banana'.

'Some' is used only when the object or thing is in plural form. For example: 'some bananas'.

3) We also have some strawberries.

• In the third sentence, the sentence is about more than one number of strawberry, that is, strawberries (in plural form). Therefore, 'some' is used before the word 'strawberries'.
