Then check the answers.
Get students read the dialogue together.
T: Pay attention. In this sentence “It takes half _______ hour to cook.” we should put ‘a(chǎn)n’ in the blank.
T: We use ‘a(chǎn)’ or ‘a(chǎn)n’ before a singular countable noun. If the noun starts with a vowel sound, we use ‘a(chǎn)n’. And in the word hour, the letter ‘h’ is silent and it starts with a vowel sound, so we use ‘a(chǎn)n’.
T: Let’s see how many letters we can put ‘a(chǎn)n’ before them. Please think it over.
Then check answers.
The letters are A, E, F, H, I, L, M, N, O, R, S, X.
