Not sure if you know this but I find it fun to know so I’m going to share.
In English when deciding whether to use a or an you should look at the start of the following word and if it starts with a vowel sound then use an else use a.
Examples:
An apple
An hour (note doesn’t start with a vowel but sounds like a vowel)
Note, this can differ by region. For example, “an historic …” is common in the UK, whereas it would be “a historic …” in the US due to accent differences.

That’s because the h is silent at the beginning of a word in the UK.
An 'istoric
A Historic makes sense if you pronounce the hard H
Yup, it’s just not so obvious when reading text if you’re not familiar w/ the accent.
