An is usually used when it is followed by a vowel.(Example 5,6)

Sometimes 'An' is used even when it is followed by a consonent.

• In example 2,when we pronounce honourable,it sounds like 'onourable'.In this place,'o' is a vowel.So, we can observe that 'an' is used.

• Similarly,in example 8,when we pronounce hour,it sounds like 'our'.In this place,'o' is a vowel.So, we can observe that 'an' is used.
