Definition:
A और An का प्रयोग करने से पहले English Alphabets को समझना जरूरी है |
English Alphabets में दो तरह के वर्ण (letters) होते है |
I. Consonants : (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z)
व्यंजन वर्ण : (क, ख, ग, ........ से लेकर ...... ह, क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ)
II. Vowels : (a, e, I, o, u)
स्वर वर्ण : (अ, आ, इ, ई ............ अ: तक )
Use of A
Rules:
(i) A का प्रयोग एकवचन संज्ञा (Singular Noun) के साथ किया जाता है |
(ii) जब किसी शब्द (word) का पहला वर्ण (Letter) का उच्चारण (pronunciation ) consonants की तरह हो तो उसके पहले A का प्रयोग किया जाता है | जैसे:
a ball, a book, a cap, a cat, a kite, a dog, a man, a woman, a table, a tree, a fan, a mango, a useful thing, a one eye man, a European, a computer, a house etc.
ऊपर के कुछ उदहारण में आपने देखा कि पहला letter vowel है परन्तु a का प्रयोग हुआ है ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि इनका उच्चारण (pronunciation ) Consonants की तरह होता है | जैसे:
