I'll solve this worksheet on articles by determining whether to use "A" or "An" for each noun. The rule is simple: use "An" before words that start with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u), and "A" before words that start with a consonant sound.
Let me go through each item:
1.
cat - starts with 'c' (consonant sound) →
A
2.
elephant - starts with 'e' (vowel sound) →
An
3.
cake - starts with 'c' (consonant sound) →
A
4.
candy - starts with 'c' (consonant sound) →
A
5.
egg - starts with 'e' (vowel sound) →
An
6.
tree - starts with 't' (consonant sound) →
A
7.
eye - starts with 'e' (vowel sound) →
An
8.
ball - starts with 'b' (consonant sound) →
A
9.
book - starts with 'b' (consonant sound) →
A
10.
orange - starts with 'o' (vowel sound) →
An
11.
eraser - starts with 'e' (vowel sound) →
An
12.
dog - starts with 'd' (consonant sound) →
A
The completed worksheet should look like this:
1. A cat.
2. An elephant.
3. A cake.
4. A candy.
5. An egg.
6. A tree.
7. An eye.
8. A ball.
9. A book.
10. An orange.
11. An eraser.
12. A dog.
