Quand utiliser a ou an ? ²⁾

L'article indéfini est a ou an. Mais comment savoir quand utiliser a ou an ? La règle est très simple. Cela dépend de la sonorité du début du mot le suivant et non pas de la manière dont il s'écrit.

Si le mot le suivant commence par une consonne, alors il faut utiliser a.
Si le mot le suivant commence par une voyelle, alors il faut utiliser an.

Exemples :

a cat.
a human emotion.
an apple.
an umbrella.
a university.
an FBI agent.
