An is the indefinite article. It is used before words beginning with a vowel sound, for example an apple, an elder, an hour, another. It is shortened to a before words beginning with a consonant sound, for example a bat, a cat, a union, a European.

Some words beginning with h may take the full form anwhen accented on the second or third syllable. For example we say a history but we may say an historian.
