What are Articles? (आर्टिकल्स क्या हैं?)
Articles are words used before nouns to show whether we are talking about something specific or general.
Articles वे शब्द हैं जो Noun (संज्ञा) से पहले लगाए जाते हैं और बताते हैं कि हम किसी सामान्य या विशेष वस्तु की बात कर रहे हैं।

Day 2: Use of "A" and "An" (A और An का प्रयोग)
Learning Objectives
Students will learn when to use a and an.
1. Article "A"
Rule:
We use a before words that begin with a consonant sound.
A का प्रयोग उन शब्दों से पहले होता है जिनकी शुरुआत व्यंजन ध्वनि (Consonant sound) से होती है।
Examples:
- a book
एक किताब - a pen
एक पेन - a boy
एक लड़का - a cat
एक बिल्ली
2. Article "An"
Rule:
We use an before words that begin with a vowel sound.
(Vowels: A, E, I, O, U)
An का प्रयोग स्वर ध्वनि (Vowel sound) से शुरू होने वाले शब्दों के पहले होता है।
Examples:
- an apple
एक सेब - an elephant
एक हाथी - an umbrella
एक छाता - an orange
एक संतरा
Important Note (महत्वपूर्ण बात)
We use a/an according to sound, not only letters.
A और An का प्रयोग ध्वनि के अनुसार होता है।
