 📌 Quick Grammar Tip


❓ “a MBA” or “an MBA”?


✅ Correct: an MBA

❌ Wrong: a MBA


🧠 Why?


Because “MBA” is pronounced “em-B-A” — and “em” starts with a vowel sound.


👉 Always use “an” before vowel sounds, not just vowel letters.


✅ Examples:

 • an MBA 🎓

 • an hour ⏳

 • an honest man 🤝


📣 Remember: It’s about sound, not spelling!
