Haleema gave me . . . . . . . . useful suggestion.
Answer:
a
Although 'useful' begins with the letter 'u', it has a 'yoo' consonant sound. This requires 'a' instead of 'an'. 'An useful' would be grammatically wrong. Since the suggestion is introduced for the first time, the indefinite article is appropriate. Hence, 'a useful suggestion' is correct.

Historical events are always referred to with the definite article 'the'. The Battle of Uhud is a unique event, so it must use 'the'. 'A Battle of Uhud' or 'an Battle of Uhud' would be incorrect. 'No article' would also leave the sentence incomplete. Therefore, 'the Battle of Uhud' is correct.

Answer:
Superlatives such as 'tallest' always take the definite article 'the'. This is because they identify a single unique example among a group. 'A tallest girl' would be grammatically incorrect. 'No article' would also make the sentence incomplete. Therefore, 'the tallest girl' is correct.
