Question

Use an appropriate article: Yesterday I bought ____ yellow shirt.

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

Answer 1

Answer:

A. a

An article is necessary because "yellow shirt" is a singular, countable noun. "A" is used before singular nouns that begin with a consonant sound. Since "yellow" starts with a consonant sound, "a yellow shirt" is correct. "The" is used for specific or previously mentioned things, but in this case, it’s a general mention.
