A/ AN
We use A for singular nouns and when the noun begins with a consonant.
Example: There is a sofa in the living room
We use AN for plural nouns and when the noun begins with a vowel.
Example: There is an umbrella on the table.
We use AN when the words start with the consonant “ h” because it is not pronounced.
Example: I was waiting for an hour.
We use A when the words start with a vowel but it is pronounced as a consontant.
Example: A university /a/ /yuniversity/ A horse /a/ /jors/
A/ AN is only used for singular nouns.
