Everyday Objects in Your Home
Let’s look at some common objects you can find in different rooms.
- In the kitchen: a cup, a glass, a plate.
- In the living room: a chair, a table, a lamp, a picture.
- In the bedroom: a bed, a clock.
- For personal use: a book, a bag, a suitcase.
How Do We Use ‘A’ or ‘An’ with Objects?
In English, we use a или an before a singular common object. These are called indefinite articles.
- Use a before words that start with a consonant sound: a book, a chair, a lamp.
- Use an before words that start with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u): an apple, an orange.
Remember, it’s about the sound, not just the letter!
Singular and Plural Forms of Objects
Most common objects have singular (one) and plural (more than one) forms. We usually add -s или -es to make a word plural.
- Add -s for most words: one book, two books; one chair, three chairs.
- Add -es for words ending in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, -z: one glass, two glasses; one box, many boxes.

| a book | books |
| a chair | chairs |

| a glass | glasses |
| a box | boxes |
| a radio | radios |

Люди, говорящие по-испански, иногда допускают следующие ошибки:
- Omitting ‘a’ or ‘an’: In Spanish, you often don’t use an article for “a” or “an” when talking about general things. In English, it’s usually necessary for singular countable nouns.
- Неправильно: I have book.
- Правильно: I have a book.
- Confusing gender: English nouns do not have gender like in Spanish (e.g., “el libro,” “la mesa”). All objects are “it.”
- Неправильно: The table is big. He is brown. (referring to the table)
- Правильно: The table is big. It is brown.
- Incorrect pluralization: Sometimes adding -es when only -s is needed, or vice-versa.
- Неправильно: Two glass.
- Правильно: Two glasses.
