We waited for a hour before the bus finally arrived. Correct the error.

The correct sentence is: We waited for an hour before the bus finally arrived.
The article “an” is used before words starting with vowel sounds, and “hour” begins with a vowel sound, so “an” is appropriate here.

    1. The original sentence has an article error. It should be: We waited for an hour before the bus finally arrived. The word “hour” begins with a silent ‘h’, making the first sound a vowel. According to grammar rules, “an” is used before vowel sounds, not just vowel letters. Hence, “an hour” is correct, not “a hour.” Understanding pronunciation helps in choosing the correct article in such cases.
