Grammar Focus
When we talk about people’s professions, we use a/an with singular:
She’s a doctor He’s an actor You’re a student
We don’t use a/an when we are talking about 2 or more people (plural):
They are doctors We are actors John and Mary are students
A or AN?
Use a before consonant sounds.
Use an before vowel sounds.
a housekeeper, a writer, a professor
an actress, an architect, an engineer
P.S.: essa regrinha serve para todas as palavras em inglês! Não é só pra profissões, não.
A/AN é um artigo indefinido que pode ser traduzido como “um/uma“. Por isso é usado somente em frases no singular. Exemplos: um menino: a boy / uma garrafa: a bottle / um helicoptero: an helicopter.
