Grammar – Articles – When to use A, AN, or no article
In this grammar lesson, I teach about one of the most common problems that new English speakers have. There are a couple of very basic grammar rules you can follow to help you know when to use “a,” “an,” or no article. Don’t forget to take the quiz at www.engVid.com
www.engVid.com This English lesson teaches you how to use ‘a’, ‘an’, and ‘the’ correctly. Many English students make mistakes with these simple words (articles), so make sure you learn how to use them correctly.
The Article Book: Practice toward Mastering a, an, and the
A comprehensive guide and workbook for improving ESL/EFL students’ understanding of English articles, The Article Book can be used as either a supplement to any ESL/EFL core text or as a self-study tool for intermediate through advanced learners. Cole involves students in “learning by doing” through an integrated approach to skill acquisition that includes other grammar structures, reading, vocabulary, and speaking.
Each chapter of the book is organized into teachable units or lessons and includes presentation of a grammatical rule with examples, exercises, quizzes, and a comprehensive test. While the fifty rules (and fifteen exceptions) are taught to provide a logical framework for the text and serve as a handy reference, students will learn through guided practice instead of memorization.

and there’s “a uniform”, because you can hear it starting with a consonant…
