This one's going to be pretty short, but it's something that can make a huge difference.

A vs An- do you know when to use which one? If you do- Great! If not- that's why this exists.

I see this quite often and it's a fairly simple mistake, but it's also a simple one to fix.

When you use 'A' as in 'A box' you have a vowel then a consonant directly after. However, if you have 'A ant' then it doesn't work; it's vowel on vowel. To fix this, replace it with 'An' so it reads, 'An ant' or 'An otter.' So now you have that consonant to separate those double vowels to make things read better.
