Answer 3

1. This is an elephant. 2. This is a ruler. 3. This is a pencil case. 4. This is an egg. 5. This is a train. 6. This is an animal. 7. This is an apple.

In English, the choice between using "a" or "an" depends on the sound that comes after it. "A" is used before words that start with a consonant sound, while "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound.

For example, in the phrase "a ruler," the word "ruler" starts with the consonant sound /r/, so we use "a" before it. On the other hand, in the phrase "an elephant," the word "elephant" starts with the vowel sound /e/, so we use "an" before it.

This rule applies to all the sentences provided. "Animal" starts with the vowel sound /a/, so we use "an" before it. "Apple" starts with the vowel sound /æ/, so we use "an" before it. "Egg," "pencil case," "train," and "ruler" all start with consonant sounds, so we use "an" before them.
