Very very educative, I've always had this problem with words that begin with letter "H" before now, but coming to difficult languages I think French language is more difficult to use than English if you think it's false, try learning French and see how words changes when referring to a particular object, time, etc 2 Likes |

thaikun15: Not really as u tink. It's just a matter of idenfying each word, wen n how to use dem most often based on concord rules in English. For d record, typically wen u hav NOUNs starting wt consonants, u use A as their articles e.g a horse, a car, a fan etc. Wen it coms to NOUNs wt vowels, u use AN as their articles e.g an orange, an umbrella, an egg etc. Exceptional cases Wen u hav words starting wt consonants bt d consonant letter nt sound (silent) on pronunciation, of course it means d nxt letter which is automatically goin to b a vowel (as u can't have 2 consonants letters beginning a word), is recognized den. E.g Hour, wen pronounced, d "H" is silent so next letter O is recognized as such u say "an hour" nt a hour cos f general rules above. So in d case of "Hotel" d H is nt silent as such recognized, so we hav "a hotel" Tanx u. |

The simple rule is to check how it sounds. An hotel doesn't sound good. A hotel does. It's that easy. |

The plural form of "boy" is "boys" and the plural form of "city" is "cities". Why their plaral forms are not the same whereas both words end with "Y" letter? |

A hotel is correct. If the H was silent and pronounced otel then An 'otel' would be correct. The correct way to pronounce it is 'ho tel'. 1 Like |
