"an" is only used when the following word starts with a vowel...  (exceptions: e.g. MP3-Player -> " Em pi three player" (vowel sound) or e.g. user -> "" you"ser") If anybody understands  |

Thanks, I was always unsure. I know that "an apple" is for sure, but "a good apple" sounded bad for me.. but "an good apple" sounded awful too.  |

I've got some questions left for the [img src=" ![]() www.printableworldflags.com/icon-flags/24/United%20Kingdom.png" src="https://i.imgur.com/h8K8TE2.png" style="max-width:24px;"]  Native english speakers, maybe others can answer them too  ^^ • When do you use "get" and when "become"? • When do you use "if", when "whether" and when "when"? • When do you use "just" and when "only"? • When do you use "from", when "of" and when "by"? • When do you use "everybody", when "everyone" and when "all"? • When do you use "have to" and when "must"? • Can you say "I find it..." to tell something like "I think it's..."? (It's funny. -> I find it funny ??) • When do you put commas? |

I thought you were on a "Gymnasium" I learned this like 4 years ago oO Well, we had some troubles with our English teachers, since two of them got pregnant during a school year and they didn't realize it, so we needed to get a proxy... And I forgot some things xDD AND ( ) in the past three years we made topics like the USA, Great Britain and Australia rather than grammar... -.- (I love grammar xDD  ) AAAAAND (xDD) we were learnt that you can't say "I find it funny" for "It's funny" (Ich finde es lustig.), but though I see many people using this...  EDIT: I just realized we had only female English teachers o.O |
