NB For proper nouns we do NOT say 'The Caitlin' or 'The New York'. For common nouns us in the difinite article are always preceded by 'the'. For common nounds using the indefinite article, the vowels a,e,i,o,u and the consonent 'h', are preceded by 'an'. e.g. 'an housekeeper' or , 'an opening'. NEITHER 'a housekeeper', nor 'a opening'. For all common nouns beginning with a consonant are preceded by 'a'.
