There are two indefinite articles in English: 'a' and 'an'. They are used before a singular noun that has a plural form. 'A' is used before a consonant sound and 'an' is used before a vowel sound.
The sound is more important than the spelling; we say 'an umbrella' and 'a union' because the sounds of the first letter are different.

Russians don't have articles. THE MORE YOU KNOW...Grammar Nazi, you must tell me where you got that lovely decal. Also, how do you drive top-down in the rain? My only solution is to drive faster.
