Dear Language/Grammar Advisor ...
I am aware 'an' is usually used to precede words with vowels, such as those beginning with a e i o u.
My question is, when is 'an' not used to precede words beginning with a e i o u?
For example, I am writing a document about 'a unified solution'. I know 'a' should precede the word 'unified' and not 'an'.
In this case, how should I explain this as a proper English usage? Are there resource or qualified documents that talks about this that I can use to explain?
Appreciate your advice. Thank you.
