Best Answer

an hour

An hour. The rule is, use a if the next word following it starts with a consonant sound. Use an if it starts with a vowel sound. Since in the word hour, the h is silent, that means it actually starts with the sound of the o, a vowel.

'An hr' is correct or not grammatically?

If the 'hr' is referring to the word 'hour' then yes, it is grammatically correct. When deciding whether to use 'A' or 'An', it depends on the pronunciation, not the letter used. In the word 'hour' you do not pronounce the 'h', so it sounds like it starts with an 'o', so you would use 'an'.The abbreviation 'an hr' is not grammatically correct. It should be written 'an hour/An hour'. Sometimes 1hr or 2hrs is okay depends on the situation.
