Question

Choose the sentence that contains an error.

A.

I need to buy an new iPhone.

B.

The cat sat on the windowsill

C.

She is the best singer in the choir.

D.

He is an artist who paints landscapes.

Correct option is A

Option (a) contains an error.
Explanation:
The article “an” is used before vowel sounds, not just vowel letters. “New” starts with a consonant sound /n/, so the correct article is a, not an.
Correct I need to buy a new iPhone.
Grammatical rule used:
�� Use ‘a’ before consonant sounds and ‘an’ before vowel sounds.
Example:
· An hour (because ‘hour’ starts with a vowel sound /auər/)
· A university (because ‘university’ starts with a ‘yoo’ sound)
