Answer:
The indefinite article "a" is used before words starting with consonants.
The indefinite article "an" is used before words starting with vowels.
To decide the use of indifinite article spelling as well as the pronunciation is taken into consideration, for eg. An Honest man, In this case since H is silent in Honest hence sound of letter 'o' comes in question therefore 'an' is used before Honest and not 'a'.
