Fill in the blanks with the appropriate article. He has __ yard in front of…

Answer: a

Reason: The noun "yard" is a singular countable noun and it is being mentioned for the first time, so an indefinite article is required.

• Use "a" before words that begin with a consonant sound. Example: "a yard" (the initial sound is /j/, a consonant sound).

• Use "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound. Example: "an apple" or "an hour" (hour begins with a vowel sound).

• Use "the" when referring to something specific that has already been mentioned or is uniquely identified in context. That does not apply here.

• You cannot omit the article before a singular countable noun in this context; leaving out the article would be ungrammatical.

Final sentence: He has a yard in front of his house.
