What if an adjective (形容词) is added in front of a noun (名词)? Some people aren’t sure how to apply this rule when an adjective appears before the noun being referred to. The same rule still applies. “A” is ud before words starting in consonant sounds and “an” is ud before words starting with vowel sounds. It doesn’t matter if the word is an adjective, a noun, or anything el; the rule is exactly the same.
