When to Use "A" vs "An"

The choice between using "a" or "an" depends on the sound that follows, not necessarily the letter. Here's a quick guide:

Use "A" when:

  • The next word begins with a consonant sound
    • Example: a dog, a university, a one-time deal
  • Before words that start with a pronounced 'h'
    • Example: a house, a historical event
  • Before words starting with 'u' that sound like 'you'
    • Example: a university, a useful tool

Use "An" when:

  • The next word begins with a vowel sound
    • Example: an apple, an elephant
  • Before silent 'h' words
    • Example: an hour, an honest person
  • Before acronyms starting with vowel sounds
    • Example: an MBA, an LCD screen

Special Cases

Some words might trick you because their pronunciation doesn't match their spelling. Always go by the sound, not the spelling.
