Theroof is designed to give the impression of a dragon .
~ It resembles an elephant which is part of Thaiculture .

The words a and an are called indefinite articles.

A is used for words which begin with a consonant sound.
Examples: • a building • a dragon • a giant basket

An is used for words which begin with a vowel sound or a silent 'h',
Examples: • an architect • an earthquake • an hour

We do not put a or an before a plural noun because a and an
means one.

Exceptions:We do not use an before a word that begins with a vowel
that makes a 'y' sound. We use a instead.

Example: • a unicorn • a university • a used car
