Why should you learn

 the a/an rule?

Lidwoorden

Er was eens de oude boer die het gans had dat elke dag de gouden ei legde. De ei leverde het boer genoeg op voor de comfortabel leven.

Op een dag had een boer de idee en dacht: "Waarom maar één ei per dag? Waarom kan ik niet alle eieren meteen krijgen?" Het domme boer sneed het buik van het gans open voor het overvloed aan gouden eieren. Hij vond niets. Een boer realiseerde zich dat hij de grote fout had gemaakt.

Pay attention to the a / an rule in English!

Er was eens de oude boer die het gans had dat elke dag de gouden ei legde. De ei leverde het boer genoeg op voor de comfortabel leven.

Op een dag had een boer de idee en dacht: "Waarom maar één ei per dag? Waarom kan ik niet alle eieren meteen krijgen?" Het domme boer sneed het buik van het gans open voor het overvloed aan gouden eieren. Hij vond niets. Een boer realiseerde zich dat hij de grote fout had gemaakt.

Once upon a time, an old farmer had a goose that laid a golden egg every day. The egg gave the farmer enough to live comfortably.

One day, the farmer had an idea and thought: "Why just an egg a day? Why can't I have all the eggs at once?"

The foolish farmer cut the goose's stomach to get an abundance of golden eggs. He found nothing. The farmer realised he had made a huge mistake.
