One > an > a

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 )
