Examples of Words that begin with the letter 'A' used in sentences.

Words that begin with the letter "A"





Awake - I am usually awake around 16 hours each day and I usually sleep around 8 hours everyday. I wake up after I have been sleeping, but I understand that being awake is not the same thing as having consciousness. Being awake means that I'm not sleeping, and consciousness means that I'm aware of myself and aware my surroundings and that I fully understand my situation at a particular time. I also know that someone can pretend to be sleeping, but they are actually awake. And someone can be awake, but they may not be fully conscious, like when a person is sleep walking. So being awake is relative. Sometimes you may need to take some measurements and ask some questions before you can determine if someone is truly awake.

Alert - I am the most alert when I am well rested and well nourished. I like to be alert when I need to focus on something important, such as learning something new or learning a new skill, or when listening to someone speaking.

Attention - I have an easier time focusing when I'm interested in something and when I have prior knowledge of something. Attention helps me to manage time and helps me to be effective at what I'm doing.

Awareness - I am most aware when I understand the environment and understand behaviors and patterns.

Alive - I feel the most alive when I am happy and when I'm enjoying an activity that I like.

Alphabet - I know all 26 letters of the English alphabet and I know how to form words using letters.

Animal - There are all kinds of different animals on earth. Humans are animals, but humans have a more advanced brain that gives humans special abilities. But many animals can do certain things better than humans can, which makes all animals very special.

Ask - I love to ask questions, it helps me to learn more and to understand things easier.

Answer - Some answers are better than other answers. A good answer is when you don't have to ask more questions. A good answer can make problem solving easier.

Accurate - Being accurate is important because I make fewer mistakes and have fewer accidents. When I'm accurate, I can cause less confusion when explaining things because I'm more exact and precise.

Articulate - I like to pronounce and speak my words more clearly, this way the message I express can be accurately understood.

Approximate is to guess an outcome or to guess the number of things without having all the information that is needed to make an accurate calculation. An Estimate.

Average is an approximate statistical middle scale of an evaluation that is between a high and low of something without loss or gain, or something that is in between a measurement of good or bad with a ratio that shows what something normally is or usually is. (If you tried to do something 10 times, and you succeeded 5 times and failed 5 times, then your average is 50 percent.)
