Articles Dictation: Descriptions and Jobs
A2 Level
English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made
Listen to the sound after a or an, not just the first letter of the word. An comes before a vowel sound. Some words beginning with h have no h sound, and some beginning with u start with a y sound. That can make the article surprising! Jobs and descriptions of one person or thing often need a or an. Hear the article with the next word, then write the full description, including any extra words between the article and the noun.
