Which is correct"an" history or "a" history ?

Answer 1

a history is the true

Answer 2

"a history" is correct.

Explained: Words that begin with an h sound often require an a (as in a horse, a history book, a hotel), but if an h-word begins with an actual vowel sound, use an an (as in an hour, an honor). However, Merriam-Webster's Dictionary says that we can use an before an h- word that begins with an unstressed syllable. Thus, we might say an hisTORical moment, but we would say a HIStory book.

Answer 3

A history is correct. An is used before words beginning with a vowel. The man is an idiot or that is an ugly duck.

Answer 4

I say "a" history, but I have heard some people say "an" before an -h word for some reason.

Answer 5

you use a before a phonetically consonant sound, you use an before a phonetically vowel sound. Since when you say history you pronounce the "h" of the h you say a. If you said honor you would use an because you do not pronounce the consonant "h" you go right to the vowel sound

Answer 6

A history - but its AN hour. It all depends on how the word sounds as a whole.

Answer 7

Does it realy matter as I'm sure/shure that you could use either and if not you could tear up a history book of English grammar but remember to inform the press and make it an historic event to the betterment of society. (Get it)

Answer 8

A HISTORY. You only use "AN" if the word that follows it starts with a vowel.
an architect
an ice cream
an elephant

Answer 9

If the H is silent, then it is an. If the H is sounded, as in history, it is just a.

Chow!!

Answer 10
