 The meaning of "A"
The following paragraph appears in a recent AP report on the meeting in Madrid:
A frustrated King Juan Carlos, seated next to Zapatero, leaned toward Chavez and loudly asked: "Why don't you shut up?" The monarch then left the chamber.
Question: What is the meaing of the indefinite article "A" at the beginning of the paragraph? King Juan Carlos is a well-known personality, shouldn't "The" is a better choice than "A"? |
