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 to use an?
A and an are indefinite articles. Use a before a word starting with a consonant eg A house, a boy, a girl. Use an before a word starting with a vowel eg an apple, an objective. But also use an before words of French origin starting with a silent h eg an hour, an hotel. See link for reference.
