We use the indefinite articles 'a/an' to say what someone is or what job they do: My brother George is an artist. We use 'a' when the noun we are referring to begins with a consonant (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, or z), for example, 'a worker', 'a teacher', and 'a student'. We use 'an' when the noun we are referring to begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), for example, 'an accountant'.
