A upcoming event vs An upcoming event

The correct phrase is 'an upcoming event.' The use of 'an' before 'upcoming' is necessary because 'upcoming' starts with a vowel sound. This is a common and correct construction in English.

A upcoming event

This phrase is incorrect. 'A' should be followed by a consonant sound, not a vowel sound like 'upcoming.'

The correct article to use before 'upcoming event' is 'an.' This is because 'upcoming' starts with a vowel sound, so 'an' is used to ensure smooth pronunciation.

An upcoming event
