Use (a) or (an) before singular nouns. Use( an ) before word | American 24

Use (a) or (an) before singular nouns.

Use( an ) before words beginning with vowels (a, e, i, o, u).

For example, say:

an axe
an igloo
an egg
an orange
an envelope
an umbrella
an ice cream
an uncle

But some words don’t follow this rule. For example, use a (not an) before these words that begin with u: a uniform a university

Use a before words beginning with the other letters of the alphabet, called #consonants.

For example, say:
a basket
a rainbow
a bowl
a monster
a car
a pillow
a hill
a watch
a house
a zoo

But some words don’t follow this rule. For example, use an (not a) before these words that begin with (h):
an heir
an honor
an hour
