Put in a/an or the.
1 This morning I bought a book and ... magazine. ... book is in my bag, but I can't remember where I put ... magazine.
2 I saw ... accident this morning. ... car crashed into ... tree. ... driver of ... car wasn't hurt, but ... car was badly damaged.
3 There are two cars parked outside: ... blue one and ... grey one. ... blue one belongs to my neighbours. I don't know who ... owner of ... grey one is.
4 My friends live in ... old house in ... small village. There is ... beautiful garden behind ... house. I would like to have ... garden like that.

Решение

Первый раз предмет упоминается впервые, поэтому ставим a: a magazine. Затем речь о тех же предметах, поэтому ставим the: The book, the magazine.
Новый, ещё не известный предмет: an accident (слово начинается с гласного звука), a car, a tree. Дальше говорится о тех же предметах, поэтому the driver, the car. В словах the driver of the car и the owner of the grey one артикль the нужен из-за уточнения с of.
Две машины названы впервые, поэтому a blue one, a grey one. Затем речь о конкретных машинах: The blue one, the grey one. Слово owner с уточнением of также требует the.
Новые предметы: an old house, a small village, a beautiful garden. Дом уже известен из контекста, поэтому the house. Фраза «такой же сад» вводит любой сад: a garden like that.

💡 Почему так

A/an ставим, когда предмет упоминается впервые или он один из многих. The ставим, когда предмет уже известен собеседникам или определён уточнением.
