The 'an' used in the above-given solution, is an article. Articles are words that are used before vowels and consonants. In English, the vowels are- a, e, i, o, and u. The consonants are the rest of the English alphabets.

There are three articles- a, an, and the.

• 'A' is used before consonants. For example- a helicopter, a bus, a flower, a swan, a bird, a tap, a house, etc.
• 'An' is used before vowels. For example- an ant, an article, an apple, an ice cream, an egg, an umbrella, an update, etc.
• 'The' is used before words or objects that have been already mentioned. It is used when it is referred to a particular object that had already been mentioned. It is also used before universal truths or something that is only one in the universe. For Example- The Sun, the Earth, the Taj Mahal, the flower, the pavement, etc.
