One bag, two books and three children
This is a bag. There is an apple inside it.
These are two books. Those three children need them.
One man and two women are waiting.
ایک چیز سے پہلے a یا an آ سکتا ہے۔ کئی چیزوں کے نام اکثر s لیتے ہیں۔اردو میں دیکھیں
Try it first
Read two books
. Change one detail. Whisper or write it first.
Listen to the first sound, not the first letter: A, An and Plurals
Use a before one countable noun that begins with a consonant sound: a book, a phone, a university. Use an before a vowel sound: an apple, an engineer, an hour. “University” begins with a y sound, so it takes a. “Hour” begins with a vowel sound because the h is silent, so it takes an.
For more than one regular item, add -s: book becomes books. Some common plurals change: man becomes men, woman becomes women, and child becomes children. Learn these three now because they appear often. This is only a first pass. Later lessons return to articles, so an occasional a or an error should not stop your speaking.
| One | More than one |
|---|---|
| a book | two books |
| a man | two men |
| a woman | two women |
| a child | two children |

a یا an کا انتخاب پہلے سنائی دینے والے صوتی اثر سے کریں، صرف حرف سے نہیں۔
Articles do not exist in Urdu in the same way
Not: He is teacher.
Use: He is a teacher.
Why: One singular countable job noun needs an article here.
Not: an university
Use: a university
Why: University starts with a y sound.
