You use a. You only use an in front of words that start with the vowels a,e,i,o,u.
ANS2:It depends on your dialect. before words with an aspirated "H" you use "a" such as "A hot water faucet". If the "H" is silent the vowel needs to be separated by using "an" as in "Anhour". In some dialects silent "H" is more common.

Do you use an or a before an h word?
It depends on how the "h" word is pronounced. Use "a" before words where the "h" is pronounced as a consonant sound (e.g., "a house"). Use "an" before words where the "h" is silent and the word is pronounced starting with a vowel sound (e.g., "an hour").

When something begins with an h you are supposed to use an. However, common usage tends to lean toward a.
Do you use a or an with words beginning with h e.g. i am reviewing a historical documentr or an historical document?
Use "a" before consonant sounds and "an" before vowel sounds. So, it depends on your preference and your location. Consider your reader: If you say "historic" without using the "h" sound, use "an". If you use "a", it forces the reader to pronounce "historic" with the "h" sound. But, if the word has a silent 'h', like the word, 'honest', then you would say 'an' and not 'a'. For instance, "I am an honest person."
