Maybe, I didn't explain well. Let me give examples instead:

You wouldn't say " a apple"

You would say, "an apple."

Use AN, not A, before a noun beginning with a vowel.

An aunt - not a aunt.
An ant - not a ant.
An example - not a example.
An excellent interview - not a excellent interview -

take out the adjective EXCELLENT and it would still be an interview. "An" modifies interview. It is an article. Not A ARTICLE. (part of speech) But sometimes the article modifies the adjective, not the noun. And if the noun began with a vowel, but the adjective didn't, then "A" would be correct. But I can't think of an example right now.
