A/ the new Talk show

[Verona_82]

Hello,

I wonder if either article - definite or indefinite- can be used in the following context:

- have you seen ... new talk show on channel 5? It's great!

Thank you.

The clue is in the second half. It says "It's great!" Do you think they are talking about a specific talk show or just any talk show?

 

[Verona_82]

Thank you. I see your point. Could 'a' be possible if it weren't for the second sentence?

NOT A TEACHER

"a" is possible, but it's less likely. In this type of question, the speaker would probably be referring to a particular talk show.
