lilac lillie  +  10305 Thu, 09 Oct 03 01:43 PM I think that usually 'A' is used before a noun beginning with a consonant and 'an' before one beginning with a vowel. BUT, what is the rule for words beginning with an 'h' Which is correct 'an horse' / 'a horse' or 'an hoax' / 'a hoax'. Are these exceptions ?Are there any other exceptions? thanks lilac lillie Joined on Thu, Oct 9 2003 New Member 01 Nouns, Vowels, Consonants
