Let’s go through each blank one by one. We need to choose between “A” and “An”.
Remember:
- Use
“An” before words that start with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).
- Use
“A” before words that start with a consonant sound.
Now let’s check each word:
1.
pot → starts with ‘p’ (consonant) →
A pot
2.
gun → starts with ‘g’ (consonant) →
A gun
3.
elf → starts with ‘e’ (vowel) →
An elf
4.
ant → starts with ‘a’ (vowel) →
An ant
5.
pan → starts with ‘p’ (consonant) →
A pan
6.
nose → starts with ‘n’ (consonant) →
A nose
7.
note → starts with ‘n’ (consonant) →
A note
8.
cup → starts with ‘c’ (consonant) →
A cup
9.
donut → starts with ‘d’ (consonant) →
A donut
10.
can → starts with ‘c’ (consonant) →
A can
11.
cap → starts with ‘c’ (consonant) →
A cap
12.
kite → starts with ‘k’ (consonant) →
A kite
Wait — let me double-check #3 and #4 again because they’re vowels.
- “Elf” → /ɛ/ sound → yes, vowel →
An elf ✔
- “Ant” → /æ/ sound → yes, vowel →
An ant ✔
All others are consonants at the start.
Final Answer:
1. A
2. A
3. An
4. An
5. A
6. A
7. A
8. A
9. A
10. A
11. A
12. A
