Teacher Re: Using "And , a , an" There's no simple numerical answer to that- we should use them when we need them. If you just mean 'how should we use them', use 'and' to join words and clauses and usa 'a' before a consonant sound and 'an' before a vowel sound when you are talking about a singular contable noun in a general way.

Ms Google found
20,430,000,000 English pages for "and"
11,780,000,000 English pages for "an"
19,620,000,000 English pages for "a"
So don't stint on their use, hoslog!
