"A wonderful" vs "An wonderful"

The correct article to use with the word "wonderful" is "a," not "an," which is used with words that start with a vowel.

Last Updated: December 10, 2017

A wonderful

This is correct

This is an indefinite article and an adjective. Use the words before a noun.

Some examples from our editors:

  • I want to introduce you to a wonderful woman.
  • I have never seen such a wonderful painting.

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • a terrific
  • a marvelous

An wonderful

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

Since the word "wonderful" starts with a consonant instead of a vowel, you need to use the indefinite article "a," not "an."
