Hi Tanialoves,

Sorry - I'm not sure what your question is? Are you saying "so how can we add a defining phrase or clause after the indefinite article?" Let me know exactly what you mean and I'll post an answer - apologies in advance if it's late (i'm about to get caught up in Xmas) but it will arrive.

I haven't seen a copy of T+M for about 25 years - I don't know if it's been updated, but if not you'll find it has a very "traditional" (structural) and simplistic view of grammar which has in many areas been revised (many apologies to T+M if they have in fact updated it. But you can check - does it tell you some is used in affirmative statements and any in negatives and questions? Or that used to is only used in the "simple past"? If so, I'd suggest a change of grammar!
