Same with “historical.” It was a historical occasion.<br /><br />Honeymooners go to a hideaway, not an hideaway. The donkey carried a heavy burden, not an heavy burden. “Historical” is no different.<br /><br />Use “an” with words beginning with an unpronounced “h.” Examples: An herb garden; an hour; an honor; An heir.<br /><br />Now, let’s combine them: “Look! An herb garden in a historical setting. Let’s stay an hour, then find a hotel.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
