When should you use a and when should you use an?
Use "a" before a word that starts with a consonant sound, and use "an" before a word that starts with a vowel sound. For example, "a cat" (pronounced as kæt) and "an apple" (pronounced as əˈpl̩). Remember that it is based on the sound, not the actual letter.
Why is it a university when the letter U is a vowel?
The word university begins with a vowel; however, it can be preceded with the article 'a' rather than 'an'.This is because the first syllable of university is pronounced "yoo". As the word begins with a 'y-sound', rather than a vowel sound, it is correct to use the article 'a' rather than 'an'.This is comparable to the use of the article 'an' for the word 'hour'; though 'hour' begins with a consonant, the first sound in the word is a vowel sound, making it correct to use the article 'an' for this word.
When do you use the word an instead of a?
When the word immediately following it begins with a vowel sound. Note that, beginning with a vowel sound is not the same thing as beginning with a vowel. "Honest" begins with a consonant but the "h" is silent, so the first sound is a vowel sound ("o"), and you would therefore use "an" ("an honest man"). On the other hand, "uniform" begins with a vowel, but the "u" is pronounced with a "y" sound (a consonant sound) and therefore, you would use "a" ("a uniform").Note that an "h" at the beginning of a word is not always silent, and when it is not, you would use "a", as in "a historical fact". Similarly, a "u" at the beginning of a word is not always pronounced with a "y" sound, and when it is not, you would use "an", as in "an unfit mother".
Do you a or an with a word with a silent h?
You would use an, because the word starts with a vowel sound.

How do I use the word an in a sentence?
"An" is an indefinite article used in place of the word "a" before words beginning with a vowel. The word "an" is used the same as the word "a." "An" is used when the following word starts with a vowel or a vowel sound such as the word "hour."
When do you use the word the with a long e?
The article "the" is pronounced with a long E when it precedes another vowel sound, as in "the open door" (the) or "the animals" (thee). When it precedes a consonant sound, it has a schwa sound (thuh). Using (thuh) before a vowel sound has an artificial spoken sound.
Which is correct - 'an hour' or 'a hour'?
an hour An hour. The rule is, use a if the next word following it starts with a consonant sound. Use an if it starts with a vowel sound. Since in the word hour, the h is silent, that means it actually starts with the sound of the o, a vowel.
