Articles Worksheet: Fill in the blanks with "a" or "an" based on the images.

Let's solve this Articles Worksheet step by step.

We are asked to complete each sentence with the correct article: "a" or "an".

Rule Reminder:

- Use "a" before words that start with a consonant sound.
- Use "an" before words that start with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).

Note: It’s about the sound, not just the letter. For example:
- "hour" starts with 'h' but is pronounced with a silent 'h', so it sounds like it starts with a vowel → use "an hour".
- But in this worksheet, all words are simple and follow standard rules.
