Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always check the noun following "a" or "an". Use "a" before consonant sounds and "an" before vowel sounds. Remember, it's about sound, not just the letter.
Common error
Don't assume that all words starting with a vowel require "an". For example, use "a university" not "an university" because "university" starts with a consonant sound.
