Lesson goal of today's program: 

At the end of the lesson you will know when to use 'a,' 'an' or 'the'! 

What articles do you know in English?

Lidwoorden = articles

de, het, een = a, an, the

Een = a of an (onbepaald lidwoord)

De/het = the (bepaald lidwoord)

a bill                    an invoice

a unit                  a student

an offer              a euro 

an hour              a computer

In 'autowiel' of 'behaviour' staan alle klinkers!

Why is "an hour" with an and is "a hour" incorrect?

1. Hour begint met een a- klank en wordt daarom an
2. Hour hoort bij de uitzonderingen
3. Hour is een medeklinker en begint daarom met en an
4. Hour heeft een H-klank en wordt daarom met an geschreven

What is correct?

1. an offer + a hour
2. an e-mail + an euro
3. a student + an printer
4. an old man + a euro
