Example Input: On a Physics specification, it says: 6.7 Know how to use two permanent magnets to produce a uniform magnetic field pattern. Isn't it 'produce an uniform magnetic field', or is the existing 'produce a uniform magnetic field pattern' correct?.
Example Output: The word uniform begins with a palatal approximant /j/. The palatal approximant is a consonantal sound, even though the letter itself is a vowel. Since we use the pronunciation of the word following the article to determine whether we use 'a' or 'an', and because it is pronounced starting with a consonant, we use 'a'. Thus, the original sentence is correct. Just for the sake of completeness, the letter 'u' can also have a vowel sound, such as in the word 'umbrella', which begins with an open-mid back unrounded vowel //.
