2801
He studied for . . . . . . . . hour before dinner.
Though 'hour' starts with the consonant letter 'h', the 'h' is silent, resulting in a vowel sound. Therefore, the correct article is 'an'. 'A hour' would be grammatically incorrect due to pronunciation rules. Hence, 'an hour' is correct.
When referring to playing a musical instrument in general, the definite article 'the' is used. This is an idiomatic usage in English. Using 'a' or 'an' would change the meaning or sound unnatural. Therefore, 'the piano' is the correct usage.
2803
Please open . . . . . . . . window; it’s too hot in here.
The definite article 'the' is correct because the speaker is referring to a particular window known to both parties, likely in the same room. Indefinite articles would imply any window, which is not the intended meaning. Thus, 'the window' is the accurate form.
The noun 'avocado' begins with a vowel sound, requiring the article 'an'. This is also a general, first-time mention, so the indefinite article is appropriate. 'A' would not conform to the vowel sound. Hence, 'an avocado' is correct.
2805
She wants to become . . . . . . . . artist when she grows up.
The noun 'artist' starts with a vowel sound, making 'an' the correct indefinite article. The phrase refers to a general aspiration rather than a specific person, so the indefinite article fits. 'A' would be incorrect phonetically. Therefore, 'an artist' is the grammatically correct usage.
2806
He accidentally broke . . . . . . . . vase in the living room.
The definite article 'the' is used here because the vase is likely known to both speaker and listener, especially since its location is specified. 'A' would introduce a new or unknown vase, which would not align with the context. Therefore, 'the vase' is the appropriate phrase.
2807
We stayed at . . . . . . . . hotel near the beach.
The article 'a' is used because the hotel is mentioned for the first time and begins with a consonant sound. 'An' would be phonetically incorrect, and 'the' would suggest the listener already knows about the hotel, which is not implied. Therefore, 'a hotel' fits the context.
2808
Have you ever seen . . . . . . . . elephant in real life?
The noun 'elephant' starts with a vowel sound, requiring the article 'an'. Since this is a general reference and not a specific elephant, the indefinite article is appropriate. 'A' would be incorrect due to phonetics. Therefore, 'an elephant' is the correct phrase.
2809
He looked at me with . . . . . . . . expression of surprise.
Since 'expression' begins with a vowel sound, 'an' is the correct article. The expression is being introduced here for the first time, so the indefinite article is appropriate. Using 'a' would not follow the vowel sound rule. Hence, 'an expression' is grammatically proper.
2810
They have built . . . . . . . . hotel on the island.
The noun 'hotel' begins with a consonant sound, so 'a' is the appropriate indefinite article. The hotel is being introduced for the first time and is therefore not specific. 'An' would be phonetically incorrect, and 'the' implies prior knowledge. Thus, 'a hotel' is correct.
