What to Focus On

  • Vowels: A, E, I, O, U
  • All other letters are consonants
  • We use the sound of the word, not the spelling, to decide between 'a' and 'an'
  • Use 'a' before singular nouns starting with a consonant sound
  • The spelling does not matter — only the sound
  • Examples: a dog, a table, a mango, a uniform
  • Use 'an' before singular nouns starting with a vowel sound
  • Silent letters can change the sound
  • Examples: an apple, an egg, an hour, an honest man

Common Mistakes to Avoid

We use 'an' if a word starts with a vowel letter (a, e, i, o, u).

We use 'a' before words that start with 'h' because 'h' is a consonant.

We always use 'an' before words that start with 'o'.

Memory Tips

Use 'a' before consonant sounds

Use 'an' before vowel sounds

Vowel letters: A, E, I, O, U

Use 'an' before silent 'h' words like 'hour'
