Use "a" when the next word does not start with a vowel sound. Use "an" when it does...

An egg for breakfast...
Remember that the sound of the word following the article (a or an), NOT the spelling, determines when to use "a"or "an."

∙ 12y agoIt's more properly, when do you use a instead of an. The indefinite article in English is an. The n drops off before a consonant sound, giving a. The n remains in front of a vowel sound. This is because normally English words run together. The two phrases "an ocean" and "a notion" sound exactly alike in good English. We always say "another," never "a other."
well, you use a if it is not a vowel and if it is a vowel then you use the word an. That's how i learned since like 4th grade. so i think that's how you should do it too. unless your teacher is teaching it different. listen to her instead of me!i don't want to get you wrong. that would be terrible.
