A quick Grammar brush up. Article - A - It is an indefinite article and is used before the singular countable noun starting with a consonant e.g. A ten Rupee note, a horse, a fine and vivid speech, A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, A word to the wise is sufficient. Exceptions - Although article A is used before a consonant, but it is also used before a vowel, the sound of which begins like a consonant, for example - A European, A University, ( E and U being pronounced as yu), Similarly, if a consonant sounds like a vowel, article A will not be used before the said word e.g.An Honest person, An honour to the profession ( H of the honest and honour being pronounced as O - Onest, Onour)
