The indefinite article takes two forms.
It’s the word a when it precedes a word that begins with a consonant. It’s the
word an when it precedes a word that begins with a vowel. The indefinite article indicates that a noun refers to a general idea rather than a
particular thing. For example, you might ask your friend, “Should I
bring a gift to the party?” Your friend will understand that you are not
asking about a specific type of gift or a specific item. “I am going to
bring an apple pie,” your friend tells you. Again, the indefinite article
indicates that she is not talking about a specific apple pie. Your friend
probably doesn’t even have any pie yet. The indefinite article only appears
with singular nouns. Consider the following examples of indefinite articles
used in context
