Exceptions:

Sometimes a word may begin with a consonant

but we use the article ‘an’ before it.

Do you know why?

The use of ‘a’ or ‘an’ depends on the beginning

sound.

For example – Hour

We see that the beginning of the word starts with

a consonant ‘h’ but we hear a vowel sound.

So, we use the article ‘An’

An Hour.

Similarly, when we hear the consonant sound,

we use article ‘a’

Example : A hat
