<!-- AUDIO REFERENCE: Tom: This is so cool. A standing desk, an ergonomic chair, and an ergonomic mouse. -->

--description--

The articles a and an are both used to indicate a singular, non-specific noun. The choice between them depends on the sound that follows. If the next word begins with a consonant sound, you use a. If it starts with a vowel sound, you use an. For example:

  • Quincy is a teacher at freeCodeCamp. - The word following the article is teacher. As it starts with the sound of a consonant, the article a is the appropriate choice.

  • Jake is an information security analyst. - The word following the article is information. As it starts with the sound of a vowel, the article an is the appropriate choice.
