To facilitate pronunciation, a is used in front of any word that begins with a consonant or consonant-like vowel sound.
Conversely, an is put in front of any word that begins with a pure vowel sound or a mute 'h'.

Note that spelling is not a reliable indicator of when to use a or an!
Our town has a theatre, a university, a large park and a conference hall.
Many Chinese still believe an Englishman always carries an umbrella.

It's an old custom.
It's a strange old custom.

The coastguard received an SOS.
He spent an hour standing in line.
The indefinite article a/an is placed in front of a countable noun that is being mentioned for the very first time. Once introduced, all further references to it can be preceded by the definite article the.
I have two cars, a Ford and an Audi.
The Ford is white and the Audi is silver.

1. Indefinite Articles: a and an
A and an signal that the noun modified is indefinite, referring to any member of a group. These indefinite articles are used with singular nouns when the noun is general; the corresponding indefinite quantity word some is used for plural general nouns. The rule is:

a + singular noun beginning with a consonant: a boy
an + singular noun beginning with a vowel: an elephant
a + singular noun beginning with a consonant sound: a user (sounds like 'yoo-zer,' i.e. begins with a consonant 'y' sound, so 'a' is used)
some + plural noun: some girls
If the noun is modified by an adjective, the choice between a and an depends on the initial sound of the adjective that immedately follows the article:

a broken egg
an unusual problem
a European country (sounds like 'yer-o-pi-an,' i.e. begins with consonant 'y' sound)
Note also that in English, the indefinite articles are used to indicate membership in a profession, nation, or religion.

I am a teacher.
Brian is an Irishman.
Seiko is a practicing Buddhist.

and with that im done..... only because i got tired of searching just to prove im right.








..........any more disagreements with my verbal skills and you can take it up with my ass.

to and too are even easier that a r an.

use 'to' when your talking about something (i gave it to him.... im goin to the store)

use 'too' when you want redundancy to a previos statement OR when describing amount (i want that too...... thats too much to eat)



and now.... the ultimate pwnage 8)

Anthony and Robpol think its too much of a hassel to take the time to learn an extremely easy rule of English
