I have a question regarding a / the articles. If anyone can explain why there should be "the" instead of "a" in the sentence.
"The" dolphin is said to be a very friendly animal.
"A" dolphin lives in the sea.
According to key there should be "the" in the first one and "A" in the second.
Will it be mistake if I put "a" insead of "the" in the first sentence?
Thank you for your help.
