aunt前面加a还是an
aunt前面加an。在元音字母的前面要用an,其余的前面要用a。元音字母是:a、e、i、o、u。冠词a和an一般用在可数单数名词或其修饰词前,在以元音开头的名词或其修饰词前用an;在以辅音开头的名词或其修饰词前用a。这里所说的元音和辅音是指读音,而不是元音字母、辅音字母。
a和an的用法区别主要是a用在辅音音素开头的单数可数名词前,而an则用在元音因素开头的单数可数名词前。
a用在辅音音素开头的单数可数名词前,如a pen、a man、a ball;而an则用在元音因素开头的单数可数名词前,如an orange、an elephant。
但是有些单词的首字母虽然是以元音字母开头,但是它的读音确实是以辅音音素开头,这样的单词前面冠词是不可以用an的,而且用a,如a university.一所大学。
虽然“university”是以u开头,但是它的读音却是以辅音音素开头的,所以它的前面要用冠词a。
