Shaky on the rule?

Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full A vs an lesson Choose a or an based on the sound of the next word, not its spelling. Use an before a vowel sound (an apple, an hour, an MBA) and a before a consonant sound (a university, a one-way ticket, a European city). Silent letters and letter names are the main traps, because spelling and pronunciation disagree.
