I first met him _____ year ago.

  • A.a
  • B.an
  • C.the
  • D.No article needed

Answer: A

The blank takes a: I first met him a year ago.

In expressions of time with ago, a single unit takes the indefinite article: a year ago, a week ago, an hour ago. Year begins with the consonant sound /j/, so the article is a, not an.

The year ago is not idiomatic, and without an article (year ago) the sentence is ungrammatical, since year is a singular countable noun.
