Plural of the nouns

How to use plural in English

Hey everyone!

Here is an awesome explanation about plural of the nouns. I hope it will be useful for you...

REMEMBER: never use plural rules with adjectives.

Example: This is a new house (singular form).
               (Esta é uma casa nova)

These are new houses (plural form).
(Estas são casas novas)

This is a - singular
These are - plural

* news= notícia / newspaper=jornal

RULES:

I hope this can help you...

Indefinite articles rules

How to use the Indefinite articles 

Hi guys!

The explanation below is to help you to use the indefinite articles (a/an) correctly.

When to Say "a" or "an"

The indefinite article is a or an. But how do we know when to say a and when to say an?

The rule is really very simple. It depends on the sound at the start of the following word. (It does not depend on the way we write the following word, it depends on the way we say it.)

A + consonant sound

If the following word starts with a consonant sound, then we say a.

a cat

a game of golf

a human emotion

a Peruvian

a very fat woman

AN + vowel sound

If the following word starts with a vowel sound, then we say an.

an apple

an extremely easy job

an interesting film

an old man

an umbrella

The importance of sound

Normally, we pronounce consonant letters with a consonant sound, and vowel letters with a vowel sound. But there are some exceptions. The rule about a or an is still the same. You just need to think about the sound, not the writing. Look at these examples:

consonant letter with vowel sound
an honest man	on-est
an hour	our
an FBI agent	eff-bee-eye

vowel letter with consonant sound
a European country	you-ro-pe-an
a one-day conference	won-day
a university	you-ni-ver-si-ty
