The h in "European" is silent.

You're trying to say "should have seen", correct?
>ESL mistake: France is an European country
...Is it? Is the joke that France is African now?
>>
>>220729906
>an European
>>
>>220729934
Yeah and if you change it to African, "an" is correct, so which is it? Suck my dick retard.
>>
>>220724679
"An" vs "a"s main delineator is phonetic. Also be aware not native English speakers give a fuck
See>>220729906 didn't even catch the problem

>>220729957
It's not a problem until you actually answer the African question.
>>220729962
You don't operate on my level. No pun intended.

There is no such thing as an EFL mistake, its their language man fr fr
>>
>>220724679
Classic ESL mistake that I usually see Germans/Scandis make is

>"Have you done this?"
>"I've"

It's technically correct but completely and totally wrong
>>
>>220729982
Would you happen to be fucking retarded by chance? It's not a joke. OP is portraying a scenario where a someone - maybe himself - is trying to figure out how to use "a" vs "an" correctly. And incorrectly using it because they think all things that are singular and start with vowels he should use "an". Which is incorrect because it's a phonetic delineation not something that is separated by letters. So yes retard. You are an African (af-ri-kan). I am a European (yur-o-pee-yan).

This is bait for efls

>>220730036
No, I'm American asking if he made a mistake describing France as European instead of African which makes all the difference in the world as far as this is concerned.
You.
Don't.
Get.
It.
>>
>>220730008
A german esl mistake is used "make" too often and for the wrong things. saying maked aswell and also pronouncing it as may ked

The word «European» should not be capitalized as it's an adjective. In English ethnics get capitalized when they are nouns.
>>
>>220730147
Good.
:)
>>
>>220730183
All proper nouns are capitalized. European is a proper noun.
>>
>>220730229
when you say «european country», then «european» is an adjective and it should not be capitalized.
>>
>>220729906
>>220729934
I think it's "a European country" since "country" starts with a consonant, the adjective describing the noun is not relevant to the "a or an" question.
>>
>>220730267
Get your money back from your English classes. All proper nouns are capitalized as well as proper adjectives. Look it up
