A Quick Tip About BANANA
When you talk about fruit you can count, use “a” for one fruit and add “-s” for more than one. “Banana” starts with the consonant sound “b”, so we say a banana, not “an banana”.
Using “an” before “banana”
✗ I want an banana.
✓ I want a banana.
Easy way to remember: “banana” starts with the sound “b” (a consonant), so always say a banana. For two or more, say two bananas.
