Problem
1. In what order would you introduce to learners the different uses of the indefinite article a (generic, labeling, first mention, any; see Section 2.3.4) and the different uses of the definite article the (generic, backward-pointing, forward-pointing, outward-pointing;) Why? For the indefinite article 'a' I would start by using the first mention
2. Suggest contexts in which the various uses of a and the could be introduced and practiced.
