A common noun is

Answer 1

No, the word 'a' is an article, a word used before a noun to limit it or make it clearer, a type of determiner.

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

The articles are a, an, and the. Examples:

A dog is howling. (the article 'a', used before a consonant sound, tells us that the dog is not a specific dog)

An animal is howling. (the article 'an' used before a vowel sound, tells us that the animal is not a specific animal)

The dog is howling. (the article 'the' tells us that it is a specific dog known to the speaker and the listener)

Answer 3

No, the word 'a' is not a noun.

The word 'a' is an article, a word placed before a noun to specify that the noun is a word for one of a person or thing.

The articles 'a' and 'an' are called indefinite articlesbecause they refer to a noun that is not a specific person or thing.

• The article 'a' is used before a noun (or the modifier that precedes it) that begins with a consonant sound.
• The article 'an' is used before a noun (or the modifier that precedes it) that begins with a vowel sound.

There is one more article in English: the.

The article 'the' is a definite article, placed before a noun to indicate that the noun is a word for one specific person or thing.

Examples:

She gave me a banana.

She gave me an apple.

He wore a blue hat.

He wore an orange hat.

I like the blue hat.
