Usually, we just put the article 'a' before a noun, to show that there is just one, BUT if a word begins with a vowel (either a, e, i, o, or u) we put the article 'an' in front of it, EXCEPT if it doesn't sound like it begins with a vowel, such as we would not put- 'an unicorn', as unicorn sounds like it begins with a 'y', so we saw 'a unicorn'.

I hope I explained this right =)
