Use AN before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first
letter is a consonant. Also use AN before letters and numbers which sound like they begin
with a vowel, such as "F" or "8". Remember, it is the sound not the spelling which is
important. For example, "F" is pronounced "eff" like it starts with an "E".
Examples:
USE 7
Some words such as "herb" or "hospital" are more complicated because they are pronounced
differently in different English accents. In most American accents, the "h" in "herb" is silent,
so Americans usually say "an herb". In many British accents, the "h" in "herb" is pronounced,
so many British say "a herb". In some British accents, the "h" in hospital is silent, so some
British will say "an hospital" instead of "a hospital".

In English, some nouns are considered uncountable such as: information, air, advice, salt and
fun. We do not use A(AN) with these uncountable nouns. (Learn more about countable and
uncountable nouns.)
