Class 1 English worksheet on articles (a, an, the) with multiple-choice questions and playful illustrations.

Let's solve each sentence one by one and explain the correct use of articles (a, an, the).

---

1. We can see _____ stars at night.

(a) a (b) an (c) the

✔ Correct answer: (c) the

Explanation:
We use "the" when referring to specific or unique things. Stars in the sky are generally referred to collectively as "the stars", because they are specific and known to everyone.
So: "We can see the stars at night."

2. I saw _____ eagle sitting on my terrace.

(a) a (b) an (c) the

✔ Correct answer: (b) an

Explanation:
We use "an" before words that start with a vowel sound. "Eagle" starts with a vowel sound (e), so we use "an".
It’s a general eagle (not a specific one), so not "the".
So: "I saw an eagle sitting on my terrace."

3. We will be going to _____ zoo tomorrow.

(a) a (b) an (c) the

✔ Correct answer: (c) the

Explanation:
We use "the" before names of specific places like "the zoo", "the park", etc., even if it's a general place. The word "zoo" is usually preceded by "the" when talking about visiting a zoo in general.
So: "We will be going to the zoo tomorrow."

4. My mother gave me _____ five rupee coin to get a pen for myself.

(a) a (b) an (c) the

✔ Correct answer: (b) an

Explanation:
We use "an" before words starting with a vowel sound. "Five" starts with a consonant sound (f), but "five rupee coin" — the phrase "five rupee" is pronounced as "fīv rūpē", where "fīv" starts with a consonant sound, so you might think "a". But wait — the key is the word after: "coin" is singular and countable, and since it's "a five rupee coin", we look at the first word of the noun phrase.

But here, "five" starts with a consonant sound, so we use "a".

Wait! Let's check pronunciation:
- "five" = /faɪv/ → starts with 'f', a consonant sound.
→ So we use "a".

But the options say: (a) a, (b) an, (c) the

So correct should be (a) a?

Wait — but the question says: "a five rupee coin" — is it "a" or "an"?

Actually, "five" begins with a consonant sound, so we use "a".

So: "a five rupee coin" is correct.

But let's double-check:
Yes, "a five rupee coin" is correct because "five" starts with a consonant sound.

✔ So correct answer: (a) a

But in the image, it seems like (c) the is ticked? That would be wrong.

Wait — looking at your image: it shows (c) the ticked for this question? That’s incorrect.

Let’s clarify:

✘ "the five rupee coin" → implies a specific coin, but here it's general.

✔ "a five rupee coin" → correct.

So Answer: (a) a

But in your image, (c) the is marked with a tick — that’s incorrect.

5. Gyansi went to _____ school by her school bus.

(a) a (b) an (c) the

✔ Correct answer: (c) the

Explanation:
We use "the" before school when it refers to a specific institution. Even though it's general, "school" in the context of "going to school" usually takes "the" when referring to the institution.
But actually, common usage is:
👉 "Gyansi went to school" — no article.
But here it says "to _____ school", and then "by her school bus", which suggests it's a specific school.

So: "She went to the school" — yes, because it's her school, specific.

So ✔ (c) the

6. _____ aeroplane was flying high in the sky.

(a) a (b) an (c) the

✔ Correct answer: (a) a

Explanation:
"aeroplane" starts with a vowel sound (a), so we use "an".

Wait: "aeroplane" = /ˈɛrəpleɪn/ → starts with 'a', a vowel sound.

So we use "an".

✔ So (b) an is correct.

But in the image, it seems like (a) a is ticked? That would be wrong.

Wait — let's confirm:
- "an aeroplane" → correct
- "a aeroplane" → incorrect

So ✔ Answer: (b) an

---

7. Mom please tell me _____ story of Snowwhite.

(a) a (b) an (c) the

✔ Correct answer: (c) the

Explanation:
We use "the" when referring to a specific, well-known story. "Snowwhite" is a famous fairy tale, so it's "the story of Snowwhite" — a specific story.

So ✔ (c) the

---

8. Karan has not even read _____ single word since morning.

(a) a (b) an (c) the

✔ Correct answer: (b) an

Explanation:
"Single" starts with a consonant sound? Wait: "single" = /ˈsɪŋɡl/ → starts with 's', a consonant sound.

So we use "a".

But wait — "a single word" is a common phrase.

Actually, "a single word" is correct.

So why "an"?

No — "single" starts with 's', so "a single word".

So ✔ Answer: (a) a

But sometimes people say "not even a single word", which is correct.

So (a) a is correct.

But option (b) is "an", which would be wrong.

Wait — could it be "an"?

No — "single" starts with 's', not a vowel sound.

So "a single word" is correct.

✔ So (a) a
