Grammar
A garden
Hi, I am working on articles.
(quoted from my exercise book).
... One day the cat said to the dog, "This place is too small for us - we need a bigger house." The dog agreed. "We could even have a garden where I could bury my bones." "Well I'm not sure ( ) garden is a good idea," said the cat. ...
I thought 'the' should be put in the blank because 'garden' has been already mentioned. However, the right answer is 'a'. Is it because the 'garden' is not specified yet? Do you use 'a' for something unknown even if it's the second time to refer to?
Thank you for any help!
