Hello, Lawthinker 1. The "a" before "moving" is what you are looking for. It is true that the book is "an account" of the author's childhood.

  • Hello, Lawthinker 1.
  • The "a" before "moving" is what you are looking for.
  • It is true that the book is "an account" of the author's childhood.
  • But in the sentence you have several words modifying "account" (moving and often humorous"), and the article will precede them.
  • Since the first word in that construction starts with a consonant sound (the "m" in "moving") you use "a" instead of "an".
