A/ AN

We use A for singular nouns and when the noun begins with a consonant.

Example: There is a sofa in the living room

We use AN for plural nouns and when the noun begins with a vowel.

Example: There is an umbrella on the table.

We use AN when the words start with the consonant “ h” because it is not pronounced.

Example: I was waiting for an hour.

We use A when the words start with a vowel but it is pronounced as a consontant.

Example: A university /a/ /yuniversity/ A horse /a/ /jors/

A/ AN is only used for singular nouns.
