Question

The article in the following sentence is a definite article.

He had an enemy that he did not know.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

'An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject. We use 'A/An' with a singular countable noun.

We use 'A' with words starting with a consonant and 'An' with words starting with a vowel respectively.

'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.

The given sentence is about any random enemy. Henceforth option B is correct as Enemy starts with 'E' , a vowel and it requires 'An' as an indefinite article.
