an honest person. the rule is: If the following word begins with a vowel, you use 'an.' but the O sound makes honest an exception. another example would be hour.

AN honest person.
If the first SOUND you make in the word following is a vowel (A, E, I, O, U), then it's an AN. It has nothing to do with how it is spelled.

Say "an honest person" because the 'h' is silent and you should use "an" if the word that follows starts with a vowel sound.

AN honest person. Use the article 'a' before an initial consonant sound and the article 'an' before an initial vowel sound. The 'h' in honest is silent, so the initial sound is a vowel sound, hence, the article 'an.'
Same thing with the word "unicorn." The initial sound is /y/, so you would say "A unicorn."
