hi can anyone say which article is used in this sentence an/ the and why
-----uncle of mine sent me this present
-----uncle of mine sent me this present

'An' because 'uncle' begins with a vowel sound. 'The uncle of mine' is non-native; we say 'my uncle' if we have only one.

Shwetha HegdeThere is a rule .we cannot use,article before relative names like father,mother ,uncle .auntI think you are confused. You cannot use an article only if it is a title. These are correct:
I have an uncle who lives in Delhi.
Uncle Sunil lives in Delhi.
