Help your Year 4 pupils confidently understand when to use ‘a’ and ‘an’ with this clear and carefully structured set of differentiated worksheets.
This resource focuses on choosing the correct article based on sound rather than just spelling, helping children master tricky cases such as an hour, a European city, and a useful tool.
The worksheets build understanding step by step, moving from simple identification tasks to more challenging sentence corrections and an extended paragraph editing activity.
Each worksheet is differentiated to support all learners:
Triangles (Support): Identify and choose the correct article (‘a’ or ‘an’) and correct simple phrases
Circles (Core): Apply understanding in sentences, sort words, and explain the rule
Squares (Challenge): Correct more complex sentences and edit a full paragraph containing multiple errors
This set is ideal for homework, classwork, revision, or SATs preparation, giving children repeated exposure to both common and more advanced examples.
