question on use of indefinite article
Hi,
1. Would you say the use of the indefinite article "a" is meant to give a more remote sense of the phrase underlined than were it used the definite article "the"?
That night he had a vision of a woman going up the mountain to pick some plants.
2. Would you say the indefinite article "a" is additionally modifying the word "vehicle" and "activity"?
XXX is a person who goes from place to place living in a car or other vehicle.
They write what they think following a reading or other activity.

- Hi, 1.
- Would you say the use of the indefinite article "a" is meant to give a more remote sense of the phrase underlined than were it used the definite article "the"?
- You haven't underlined anything.
- I recommend that you think about articles in terms of definite/indefinite or specifc/unspecifc, instead of remore/not remote.
- A simple approach is to use 'a' th first time you mention something, and then use 'the' for later mentions.
