Is it an historic or a historic?

There are two variants of the indefinite article: a and an. You use “a” when the word starts with a consonant sound and “an” when the word starts with a vowel sound.

The word “historic” can be pronounced with a hard “h” (consonant sound) or silent “h” (vowel sound). You should choose the indefinite article that fits your pronunciation.

  • I watched a historic movie.
  • I watched an historic movie.
