When to use a/ an in English sentences?

<p>In a very basic sense, 'a' is used as a prefix to words that start with a consonant, while 'an' is used for vowels.</p><ul><li>Example: He lives only <strong>a</strong> mile away from the office.</li><li>Example: <strong>An</strong> eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.</li></ul><p>This rule also applies when a word starts with a consonant/ vowel sound, such as an hour, a university, etc. This stands true to acronyms as well, for example, <strong>a </strong>UFO, <strong>an </strong>HR department, etc.</p>
