Words for You: A or An

August 5, 2020August 5, 2020 CybeleLeave a comment

A or An

Use a when the next word starts with a consonant.

I need a chair.

Use an when the next word starts with a vowel.

I ate an apple.

Exception: When the next word starts with a word that makes a “y” sound, use a.

Tiny Tim’s “sweet sonic oscillator” is a euphemism for a ukulele.
