English grammar worksheet for kids: circle the correct article (a, an, the) based on the images.

This worksheet is testing the correct use of articles — specifically, when to use “a”, “an”, or “the”.

Let’s go through each question one by one and explain the correct answer.

---

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).
- Use “the” when referring to something specific or already mentioned.

In these questions, we are talking about one general item (not specific), so we will mostly use “a” or “an”, depending on the first sound of the next word.

## ✔ Question 1:
> A: What fruit do you like?
> B: I like ______ banana.
> a. a
> b. an
> c. the

- “Banana” starts with a b → consonant sound → use “a”.
- Also, it’s not a specific banana — just any banana in general.

✔ Correct Answer: a. a

## ✔ Question 2:
> A: What animal do you like?
> B: I like ______ elephant.
> a. a
> b. an
> c. the

- “Elephant” starts with e → vowel sound → use “an”.

✔ Correct Answer: b. an

> A: What is this?
> B: It’s ______ flower.

## 💡 Summary for Student:
You use “a” before words that start with a consonant sound (like banana, flower, square, car).
You use “an” before words that start with a vowel sound (like elephant).
You use “the” only if you’re talking about something specific or already known — which isn’t the case here.
