a oven vs an oven

The correct phrase is "an oven." The use of "an" before a word starting with a vowel sound is a rule in English to ensure smooth pronunciation. Therefore, "a oven" is incorrect.

This is incorrect. The article "a" should be followed by a consonant sound.

"a oven"

The correct article to use before the word "oven" is "an" because the word starts with a vowel sound.
