Default Re: An English major student..

I was thinking about the difference between using the and a (an). I thought that I should not use a or an with oneself. Now its clear as Reemani also suggested as we sat to discus that if I am going to say I am the English major student, which I did not mean it to be this way, it will mean that I am the English student who studies English. When using an, she said this will be related to anything you do with the English language. For example, when saying "this is an english book, or text" here we need to use the an article.

Thanks Cas, and Sappy. And thanks Reemani.
