In a restaurant context or similar,
1.
a) Can we choose a table?
b) Can we choose the table? (implying a table "we will use" but not a particular one--a subsitute for "our table")
Q.
Is (b) necessarily wrong? (and (a) right?)
2.
a) Can we change the table?
b) Can we change our table?
Q.
Is (a) wrong?
Thanks in advance.
