When I did PT 66 Game 1, the last rule was confusing:
"J must meet on an earlier day of the week than O."
Why is it not "J _ O" but it is JO, since it said: AN earlier day?
Thank you

In this instance, they are using an instead of "a" because earlier is a vowel.
This link explains it.

"A" and an are interchangeable, it just depends on the word that comes next. While they do mean 1 as in your apple example, it doesn't mean the day immediately preceding, just any day preceding.
Thank you so much 😊

J must meet on an earlier day of the week than O would be J-O
J _ O would be J meets 2 days earlier than O or that there is one day in between when J and O meet
And JO would be J meets on the day immediately before O
Isn't the "an" represents one day? like an apple is one apple? Thank you !
No, if it said a day earlier then it would be one day. But an earlier day means it could be any day as long as it is earlier
