Dear teachers,

pls, tell me if there is anything weird in the following sentence.

" Do you remember a time when you were really embarrassed? "

I think the article "a" is improper in front of "time" , What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

No, it's fine. It refers to any time in the past when one had that feeling.

As Mike said, this refers to any time in the past when you felt like that. You could also say "Do you remember the time when...", but you'd be referring to a particular (known) event: Do you remember the time when we pretended to be policemen?

Oh, I see.
Thank you, Bobk!
By the way, I 've found that it is quite difficult to use right articles in right time. I'm just wondering if native speakers like you guys have same problem as I have. I mean when you are using articles.

Article use is very difficult to learn, but native speakers seem to have few problems with them.

Is it equivalent to "Have you ever felt embarrassed"?
