Grammar
the or a television screen
Hi,
If I ask someone:
"What is that movie called where a scary girl crawls out of a television screen?"
"What is that movie called where a scary girl crawls out of the television screen?"
I can use either article, right? Presumably the person I am asking knows the movie and so knows what television screen I am referring to (so "the" is fine). On the other hand the television screen might not be so important as all that or central to the narrative, so "a" seems fine too.
Right?
