Hello p1ne,

rdrtx1's solution could be little modified(where removing the string concatination to line and directly printing it rather) to as follows may help you in same too.
Code:
awk '
/^[pfcdl]/ {print "your " $0 ; next}
/^[vjkmns]/ {print "the " $0 ; next}
/^[bghqrtwz]/ {print "a " $0 ;  next}
/^[aeiou]/ {print "an " $0   ; next}
1' list.txt

Thanks,
R. Singh
