Slide 1 - Slide

Articles
Articles are placed before a noun,   In English we know two types of articles: THE (definite article) and A or AN (both INdefinite articles)

Examples: 
The book is on this shelf is mine.
I’d rather eat  a pear than an apple.

Slide 2 - Slide

The articles a/an
 A is put before closed sounds: the consonants.

a pet               a teacher           a bycicle
a car                  a door               a room
 

Slide 3 - Slide

The articles a/an
An is used for a noun with an open sound: the vowels

an ear            an investigation         an officer
an apple            an Englishman          an answer
 

Slide 4 - Slide

ATTENTION!
So, the choice od a or an is not what you read on paper, but the sound you hear.

Sometimes you see a noun starting with 
-h.  however it is not pronounced! Then you put the article AN before it:  AN hour, The -h is not pronounced(‘our)

Sometimes you see a noun starting with -h. But in the example it is pronounced:
A house. The  -h is NOT silenced!
