 Indefinite Articles : a and an
 How to Use the Indefinite Articles a and an:
 The two indefinite articles in English are a and an. The general rule is
to use a when the indefinite article precedes a word beginning
with a consonant sound, and an when it precedes a word starting
with a vowel sound.
 1 Use a when the indefinite article comes before a word beginning
with a consonant sound: a toy/ a book/ a house
 2 Use an when the indefinite article comes before a word beginning
with a vowel sound:
 an operation/ an idea/ an apple/ an hour
