Usually adjectives modify nouns through description, but articles are used instead to point out or refer to nouns A manA lake A car An illiterate man

'A' is used before a consonant sound and 'an' is used before a vowel sound.articlessingularnounplural consonant vowel The sound is more important than the spelling; we say 'an umbrella' and 'a union' because the sounds of the first letter are different.
