I designed this worksheet for first grade students. Its main goal is to help children practice the correct use of the articles “a” and “an” in simple sentences.
Content:
The worksheet includes 10 short sentences, each with a blank space where students must fill in either “a” or “an”. Each sentence is paired with a small picture to visually support comprehension and help young learners identify the correct noun.
Examples of sentences:
“I ............... bicycle.”
“He eats ............... apple.”
“Tom bought ............... umbrella.”
Focus:
This worksheet reinforces the basic grammar rule:
Use “a” before words that begin with a consonant sound.
Use “an” before words that begin with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).
It supports early reading and sentence structure skills and combines visual learning with grammar practice, which is effective for young learners.
Design:
The worksheet has a clean and simple design .It includes spaces for the student’s name and date at the top.
The images are simple and clear, supporting the understanding of each sentence.
This worksheet is suitable for classroom use, homework, or independent practice, and it aligns well with early primary English language learning objectives.
Usage:
As a teacher, I used this worksheet to help my first-grade students learn how to use “a” and “an” correctly. First, I explained the rule in a simple way: we use “a” before words that start with consonant sounds and “an” before words that start with vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u). Then, we did a few sentences together as a class, using the pictures to help us choose the right word.
After that, the students completed the rest of the worksheet on their own. Sometimes, I let them work in pairs and talk about their answers together. When everyone finished, we checked the answers as a class and I asked some students to explain their choices. To make the lesson more fun, we sometimes played a quick game using flashcards to practice more words with “a” and “an.”
This worksheet was very useful because it was simple, clear, and had pictures to help the students understand the words. It was great for practice, review, or even a short test.
