2. You use 'an' before words that begin with the five vowels – a, e, i, o, u. However, the way you pronounce it and not the spelling, shows you which one you must use. Examples: You should say, 'an hour' (because hour begins with a vowel sound) and 'a history' (because history begins with a consonant sound).

8. The definite article is used before singular and plural nouns when the noun is specific or particular. The signals that the noun is definite, that it refers to a particular member of a group. For example: "The dog that bit me ran away." Here, we're talking about a specific dog, the dog that bit me.
9. We normally pronounce "the" with a short sound (like "tha"). But when "the" comes before a vowel sound, we pronounce it as a long "thee". We must understand that it doesn't matter how we write it, what matters is how we say it. So we use long "thee" before a vowel sound, not necessarily before a vowel.
