Trivia: [❌] She's a honor student. [✔] She's an honor student. [❌] She went to an university. [✔] She went to a university. [❌] I have been waiting for a hour. [✔] I have been waiting for an hour. Explanation: Honor is pronounced as o-nor, therefore it is suitable to use 'an' before the word since its pronunciation starts with a vowel. Same goes to the case of the third sentence. It should be 'an hour' since hour is pronounced as either 'awr' or 'a-war'. For the second sentence, university is pronounced as 'yu-ni-ver-si-tee' and therefore it is appropriate to use 'a' before the aforementione word since its pronunciation start with a consonant which is 'y'. - Psychē
