Sometimes 'an' is used before a word that begins with a consonant, such as 'an honorable man.'"The sound, not the spelling, of the following word makes the determination, so it's 'an honor', 'an hour', 'an honest man', but 'a house', 'a horse', or 'a horrible man'.It works the other way, too - when the word starts with a vowel but has a consonant sound - 'a union', but 'an umbrella' or 'it's not an elephant; it's a ewe.
