Grammar
'A' vs 'THE'
If I'm asked the question, -'Which animal is the biggest ?', should I answer 'The whale is...' or ' A whale is...) ?
I don't understand the usage of the articles clearly.
Could you tell me which is the best?

' "The whale is" is probably more often used in that context, but "A whale is" is not completely wrong either. I recommend "the whale". CJ
