You are right. But I actually don’t know why… I was told (as a non native speaker) that „an“ is always used when the next word starts with a vocal. But „use“ seems to be an exception.
English is complicated bro. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. If you are multi-lingual, you’ve got more going for you than most Americans. In general, use “a” before words that begin with a consonant sound. Use “an” before words that begin with a vowel sound.
a* use, jfyi

If it starts like “you” (universe, unity, …) then it’s just “a” 🤜🤛
Thanks too! Was in a similar situation as B0rax.
Thanks!
