an ace vs a ace

The correct phrase is 'an ace.' The choice between 'a' and 'an' depends on the sound that follows. 'An' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, while 'a' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.

an ace

This is the correct construction. 'An' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound.

Use 'an' before words that begin with a vowel sound, like 'ace.' This helps with the flow of the sentence and makes it easier to pronounce.

Examples:

  • an ace in the hole
  • an ace pilot
  • an ace student
  • an ace up your sleeve
  • an ace bandage

Alternatives:

  • a great ace
  • a skilled ace
  • a talented ace
  • a remarkable ace
  • a wonderful ace

a ace

This is incorrect. 'A' should not be used before words that begin with a vowel sound like 'ace.'
