Answer (2)
Sure, let's go through each sentence and fill in the correct article.
III. Circle the correct article (a / an / the) in each sentence:
The shoe had an eight printed on it.
We use 'an' before words that start with a vowel sound (like 'eight').
She is eating an apple.
'An' is used because 'apple' begins with a vowel sound.
We went to the park yesterday.
'The' is used because it refers to a specific park, possibly one both the speaker and listener know about.
He has an orange ball.
'An' is used here because 'orange' starts with a vowel sound.
I want to buy a new pencil.
'A' is used because 'new' starts with a consonant sound.
The moon looks bright tonight.
'The' is used because there is only one moon we can see from Earth, making it specific.
