Hey Martha,
The first thing you want to do is unscrew the aerator,(see image) from the end of the spout and check and clean the screens. Turn the water on and see if you get pressure now. Yes? You've found the trouble. No? Click on back and let me know the brand name, the type, one handle or two knobs. And how old it is. Then you and I will be tearing into it to locate the problem. Let me know! Tom

I think you have to give a certain amount of reputation to others before you can come back and give it to me. I thank you for the thought though. Regards, Tom

John, you have to rate 5 others before you can rate 1st person again...

Martha, usually it is a clogged aerator. Clean it as Tom said. It is hand tighten... Be careful not to spill interior parts of the aerator.
