Subject: LAATE BUT IMPORTANT; for Kendra, 'a' or 'an'
In front of a vowel, 'an' is used.
These are the exceptions, when 'a' is used in front of a vowel:
When 'u' or 'e' as the first letter in the word makes a consonant sound, like 'y', use 'a' instead of 'an'. Example: a urinary infection, a US ship, a union, etc....a European,
When 'o' as the first letter makes a consonant sound, naemly 'w', use 'a' instead of 'an'. 'Example: a one-eyed man, etc....
Hope this helps, GL
