1. An American car needs a large amount of gas.
That's true but it's on the way to soon not be true.
2. I would like to have a wonderful car.
You said it!
I think the n that sticks onto the article a to make the article an has a euphonic origin. Just tell the words aloud or mentally and you right away know whether you have to use a or an.
Most often the article a comes begore a word beginning with a consonant whereas the article an comes before a word beginning with a vowel. A car, a window, a honest man,... An American, an interesting book, an evidence,... But sometimes the consonant beginning the word is somehow a false one, it's a consonant but it plays a trick on the beginner, for example the h of the hour is aspirated (*) and you'll say: an hour.
(*) they say aspirated even though you never breathe in by saing a h (ha, ha! a h or an h? Guess!)
If you hitch a lift, you might get an itch in your thumb, but don't mistake them.
But anyway hang in here. I'd like to give you a hitch up, hern6092.
