a egg vs an egg

The correct phrase is "an egg." The use of "an" is determined by the sound that follows it, not the letter. In this case, the word "egg" begins with a vowel sound, so "an" comes before it.

a egg

This is incorrect. The article "a" is used before words that start with a consonant sound.

The correct phrase is "an egg" because the word "egg" starts with a vowel sound. Use "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound and "a" before words that begin with a consonant sound.
