THE USE OF INDEFINITE ARTICLES AN/A

if the word begins with a silent H, AN is used

USE ARTICLEA ''AN''

''AN'' is used in front of singular countable nouns which are not specific.

We don't use a before uncountable or plural nouns

If the noum starts with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u), ''an'' comes before the noum

Article + Subject + verb + Article + Noun

The boys kick a ball.
