    A/an, plurals – Grammar chart

    We use a/an with singular nouns.

     This is a table.
     It’s an orange.

    We use a with nouns beginning with a consonant, and we use an with


    nouns beginning with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u).

     Give me an apple.
     There is an elephant in the zoo.
     It’s an amazing experience.

    We also use an with nouns beginning with h if the h is not pronounced.


    But we use a if the h is pronounced.

     Give me an hour. (The h is not pronounced in hour.)


     I want to buy a hat. (The h is pronounced in hat.)

    We use a and NOT an with nouns beginning with u when it is


    pronounced /ju:/, like university.

     Is there a university in this city?


     I wear a uniform.

    Plurals in English
    Do not use a + plural

    We do NOT use a/an with plural nouns.

     These are tables.


     These are a tables.

    Regular plurals

    We add -s to make plural nouns in English. Sometimes we need to add -


    es, -ies or –ves. Check the spelling in the grammar chart above.

    Some words have irregular plurals and do NOT add -s to make their
    plural form.

    Adjectives in English – grammar chart

    Adjective + noun

    When we use adjectives with a noun in English, the adjectives go before


    the noun.

     It’s an expensive guitar.


     It’s a guitar expensive.
     She has a new car.
     She has a car new.
    Am/is/are + adjective

    We can also use adjectives without a noun after the verb be.

     This guitar is expensive.


     Her car is new.

    In questions, the adjective can go after be + subject.

     Is your car new?


     Are your classmates nice?

    Feel/look/smell/sound/taste + adjective

    We can also use adjectives without a noun after the verbs of the
    senses: feel, look, smell, sound, taste.

     Your idea sounds interesting.


     I don’t like this soup. It tastes horrible.
     You look tired.
     These cookies smell delicious.
     I feel depressed.

    No plural

    Adjectives in English have no plural. They are always singular.

     These are my favourite shoes.


     These are my favourites shoes.
