Articles trip people up because the choice depends on sound, not spelling: an hour, a unicorn, the apple. Explanations after each answer show the rule behind the mistake, so you can see why 'an university' is wrong and remember the fix.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use a versus an?

Use an before a vowel sound, not just a vowel letter, so an hour starts with a vowel sound while a university starts with a y sound. Read the word aloud to check which article fits.

How many questions should a grammar quiz on articles include?

Ten to fifteen questions covers the common cases well when you mix fill-in-the-blank items with true/false statements. Retake the questions you missed a day later to check that the rule has stuck.

Can I export the quiz to PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month. Students can get 40% off Plus with a school email.
