​As "a/an" means "one",

we can't use a for plurals

​

We can not say: "a bottles", "​a hats", "an eggs"

​

But we can say: "the bottles, "the hats", "the eggs"​

​one bottle = a bottle

​one hat = a hat

one egg = an egg

​

The difference is the emphasis on the quantity​

​

​

​a/an means "one"

​Singular (a/an - the) - Plural (the)
