 What form of the indefinite article would you add to the words "European" and "eunuch"? Is it "a" or "an"? It is "a" (not "an"). e.g. A European country Back then, a eunuch was always revered. I'm sure you must have once asked why you add "an" to elephant" and "egg". e.g. An elephant An egg The reason is because the initial sounds in "European"and "eunuch" is consonant /j/. For"elephant"and "egg", the initial sound is vowel /e/. You now know why?
