We reached a small village, where we put up for the night.

We reached a small village, where we put up for the night.


Is the sentence natural or grammatically correct?


I have learned that non-defining relative adverbs with a comma happen with the definite article 'the' like I know the place where you met her.


Or are indefinite articles 'a' and 'an' okay with non-defining relative adverbs?


What do you native English speakers think?


Thank you so much as usual in advance!
