    Question

    The sentence below has been divided into three parts. Select the part of the sentence that has an error.
    Start to relax a hour/ before bedtime with a/ hot bath or your favourite music.

    A.

    Start to relax a hour

    B.

    before bedtime with a

    C.

    hot bath or your favourite music.

    D.

    No error

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) contains an error.
    · The indefinite article “a” is incorrect before the word “hour” because “hour” begins with a vowel sound.
    · Therefore, the correct article should be “an”, not “a”.
    · Correct sentence: Start to relax an hour before bedtime with a hot bath or your favourite music.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Use “an” before words that begin with a vowel sound (not necessarily a vowel letter).
    · "Hour" starts with a silent "h", so the vowel sound of "our" is heard.
    �� Information-booster:
    Words like honest, hour, heir also begin with a silent "h", so use "an" before them.
