Hello and welcome to the forum [<:o)] You are correct "an" is used before nouns that start with a vowel or a vowel sound. Some words start with a consonant that is pronounced as a vowel and so we use "an". For example:- An hour

I am not sure that I understand your question. Grammar is the same when you are writing or speaking.
You would not always use a/an in a sentence it depends on the nature of the sentence.
Take a simple noun like apple for example?
Can I have an apple please?
No not that apple, I would like a red apple.
He tried to give me a green

Because "apples" is plural. When we are talking about things in general we use plurals.
If we were talking about a particular apple then you would say "I hate that apple".
I like apples. _ a general statement
I want an apple. - any apple but only one.
I want a red apple. - any red apple.
I want that apple. - a particular apple - the one
