Best Answer

Use a if the first sound sounds like a consonant:

For example:

  • A melon (Mel-on)
  • A monkey (Mun-key)
  • A marker (Mar-kur)

Use an if the first syllable starts with a vowel-sound:

For example:

  • An M&M (Em-in-em)

The same applies to how you say "An honest..." (Aw-nest) and "A hamburger" (Ham-bur-ger).
