I came across this term: 'He is an heir of a rich man.' Can 'an' be used here? Thanks in advance. _________________ "I don't know what they will use in World War III. But in World War IV sticks and stones will be used." Albert Einstein No War.

Hello Sidrao Yes, that's fine: you can use "an" before a silent H, and the H in "heir" is silent. MrP
