It may have been spelled that way centuries ago when Middle English was the type spoken in English-speaking countries in Europe, though I am not entirely sure.

I see.

It's more obvious when using "a" or "an" to describe a single object.
Example:
a orange
and
an orange
If you sound out both, the first one is more awkward and does not sound correct to an English speaker. The second has a consonant "n" that connects the two words together, sounding correct to an English speaker.

なるほど I see.
"the" is pronunced differently when the words begining with vowels comes after right? Why is that?

Practice, experience, and immersion in situations where English is the only language spoken are the best ways. Eventually, you will not need to concentrate as much on the rules of grammar and instead on how you heard it spoken correctly in past experiences.

Yes!
There is no short-cut right?
