    Default or a-an

    Hi,

    A person
    An event

    Usually an implicit reference, perhaps to another work of literature or art, to a person or an event. (That's ok)

    Usually an implicit reference, perhaps to another work of literature or art, to a person or event. (Is that ok?)

    My question is do we have put 'an' before 'even' after any conjunction?

    Thanks...
