Singular Nouns
We use the verb "is" between two singular nouns.
When explaining something, use for the form: Noun + To Be + Noun
Examples:
- English is a language.
- A car is a vehicle.
Examples:
- Soda is a drink.
- Pizza is a food.
- A bird is an animal.
- The house is a place.
- Brazil is a country.
Articles + Nouns
'A' or 'An' are articles. In English we use articles before singular nouns.
'A' is used before a word that begins with a word that doesn't start with a vowel. 'An' is used before a word that begins with a vowel. (a, o, i, e, u)
Vowels use: 'An'.
Consonants use: 'A'
Examples:
- Peru is a country.
- An orange is a fruit.
- A bird is an animal.
- The house is a place.
- Southwest is an airlines.
Plural Nouns
The plural noun is placed right before the "are". We do not use an article (A / AN) with a plural noun. Use the form: Plural Noun + Are
Examples:
- Panthers are beautiful.
- Apples are healthy.
- People are nice.
- English and Spanish are languages.
- We are home.
