Question

He is ___ MLA from Kerala.

• A. a
• B. an
• C. the
• D. No article

Answer 1

Answer:

B. an

• We use "an" before words that start with a vowel sound, not just a vowel letter.

• Although "M" is a consonant, when you say "MLA", it starts with the sound "em", which begins with a vowel sound.

  • So it’s like saying: “He is an (em-el-ay) from Kerala.”
