Like an apple, and a computer. When do you use "a" and when "an"? |

The only time you use "an" is when the first letter of the next word starts with a vowel.
I'm a blah and I approve this message. |

"an" is before anything beginning with an "a" For example "an apple, an ape"
"a" is for everything else. |

So you use "an" for example, egg? And you use "a" for example, group? |

yes, an egg
an iPhone
an apple
an orange
But, it does not always become an before words with vowels, such as uvula and utopia
Make sure the word makes the vowel sound (a, e, i, o and u)
for the example above, uvula and utopia make a (Y) sound even though they start with a vowel, these would not use an, but a uvula, a utopia |

"A" is words that starts with consonants (not vowels) "An" is for words that do start with vowels |
