An young vs A young

The correct phrase is 'a young.' The article 'a' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, while 'an' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. In this case, 'young' begins with a consonant sound (the same 'y' as in words like 'yard' and 'year'), so 'a' is the correct choice.

An young

'an young' is incorrect. 'An' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, but 'young' begins with a consonant sound.

The correct article to use before 'young' is 'a,' as 'young' starts with a consonant sound.
