Correct a or an

which is correct?
A insurance company or
an insurance company

Re: Correct a or an

If the Indefinite Article is followed by a vowel sound, then use 'an'.
an apple
an egg
an impossible situation
an orange
an untidy bedroom

So -
an insurance company

Re: Correct a or an

An insurance company

It is as explained by the previous poster.

However, watch out for cases where the word after the article starts with an haitch.
