Teaching: the rules when to use An and when to use A

Song Description

Teaching: the rules when to use An and when to use A

Lyrics

An, Not A

An alien,
An eagle,
An iron,
An overcoat,
An animal,
An egg for breakfast,
An ink sac in
An octopus,
An ugly duckling.

(Long sounds, as letter names:)
A-, e-, i-, o-,

(Short sounds:)
A-, e-, i-, o-,u-

starting words have this rule:
An,
not
A,
is used in front of them.
We've heard some.
Let's hear some more:
More examples:

An April shower,
An emu,
An icicle,
An open door,
An astronaut,
An empty box,
An in tray in
An office with
An umbrella stand.

REPEAT FROM THE BEGINNING
