What else can I help you with?
Do you say 'an uniform' or 'a uniform'?
As a general rule, "a" is used when the first sound (not letter) in a word is a consonant. "An" is used when the first sound (not letter) is a vowel. "Uniform" is pronounced /ˈjuːnɪfɔːm/ or /ˈjunəfɔrm/, the first sound being /j/, (sounds like the 'y' in the words "you" or "yes"), which is a consonant. The rule has to do with the sound of the word and not the written form of the word. If the following word has the initial sound of a consonant then "a" is used. If the initial sound of the following word is a vowel then "an" is used. This rule results in a slight difference in usage in Britain and the USA.

Why a hotel why not an hotel?
The word 'an' is used before a word beginning with a vowel. For example, "an apple" is correct, whereas "a apple" is not. And since 'hotel' doesn't begin with a vowel, it's "a hotel."But there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, with words beginning with 'h' where the h is silent, as in "honor", it would be "an honor" and not "a honor".

Why do you say a hotel and not an hotel?
In English, we use "a" instead of "an" before words that begin with a consonant sound. Even though "hotel" starts with the letter "h," it is pronounced with a consonant sound at the beginning (i.e., /h/ sound), so we say "a hotel" instead of "an hotel."
