The twentysix alphabets of English language
are divided into vowels and consonants.
A,e,i,o,u are vowels. All the other alphabets are consonants.
'A' is used when a word begins with a consonant. eg
a pen. The letter 'p' is a consonant .
'An' word used when a word begins with a vowel.
eg an orange. The letter 'o' is a vowel.
The usage of a or an also depends on the sound
of the words.
For eg an heir . Although the letter 'h' is a
consonant, we use the article 'an' because the consonant
'h' is silent.
Similarly, we also say a university. Although the letter
'u' is a vowel, we use the article 'a' because
the word university begins with the consonant
sound 'yu'.
