Grammar review
Two questions decide the article. Is it one thing you can count? If not, a and an are out: some luggage, two suitcases. Does the listener know which one? Introduce something new with a or an (Tom made a kite), then use the once it's known (the kite flew away). Choose a or an by sound.
