My sister has just got . . . . . . . . job at . . . . . . . . bank in Manchester. A. a, the B. an, a C. a, a D. an, the

The correct answer is:

A. a, a

The word “job” is a common noun, which means it refers to any kind of work. In this case, the speaker is not specifying which bank their sister got a job at, so they use the indefinite article “a”. The indefinite article “a” is used before singular common nouns to refer to a general thing or person.

The word “bank” is also a common noun, but in this

case, the speaker is specifying which bank their sister got a job at. Therefore, they use the definite article “the”. The definite article “the” is used before singular common nouns to refer to a specific thing or person.

Here are some examples of how the indefinite article

“a” and the definite article “the” are used:

• I saw a bird. (The speaker is not specifying which bird they saw.)
• I saw the bird. (The speaker is specifying which bird they saw.)
• I went to the store. (The speaker is specifying which store they went to.)
• I went to a store. (The speaker is not specifying which store they went to.)

I hope this helps!
