an was the Old English word for "one". <p>Like an, a has developed as the sounds dropped away from the cardinal number one. (phonological evolution)
syntax
- a is used before a consonant sound (a quarter note, a half note, a whole note, a holy otter)
- an is used before a vowel sound (an 8th note, an old note, an utter silence, another sound )
- a lot = beaucoup, a lot of = beaucoup de
- A funny article: Alot is better than you at everything
