Use "a", except when in front of a word which starts with a,e,i,o,u. Then use "an".
For example: a question
//////////////// an answer
Sometimes you can find the "rules" in the front of a dictionary. Notice the "a", instead of "an".

"A" precedes words starting with a consonant,
"An"" those starting with a vowel;
except like in an habitat
where " a ha " (!) would be a laughing matter.

are you asking when to use "a" vs. "an"?
"an" is used when the next word starts with a vowel, otherwise you use "a".
An elephant....
A hero....
At least, that is how I understand it.
