E and y

En cual situaciones necesito usar "y" (como una manzana y un libro) y cual situaciones "e" (como parde e hija)?

Cuando la palabra siguiente empieza con el vocal /i/ hay que decir 'e'. En todos los otros casos hay que decir 'y':

hijo y padre (empieza con el consonante /p/)
padre e hijo (empieza con el vocal /i/)
estaño y hierro (empieza con el semivocal /j/)

Las palabras 'o' y 'u' funcionan de manera semejante: si la palabra siguiente empieza con el vocal /o/ hay que decir 'u', y en todos los otros casos hay que decir 'o'.

oro o plata (empieza con el consonante /p/)
plata u oro (empieza con el vocal /o/)
