Question

My mother said my grandparents were living in _ village which is the correct article

Answer 1

Answer:

"A" and "the" both can be the considered as the article to be correctly used here.

Explanation:

Take a look here:

• My mother said my grandparents were living in the village

Here it means that the grandparents  were living in a village that was somewhere previously mentioned. Like, this sentence could be and answer too: "Were your grandparents living in the forest near the village?" "No, my mother said my grandparents were living in the village."

• My mother said my grandparents were living in a village.

Here, it means that the grandparents were merely living in a village. They just lived in a random village, not a specified one. Or, not a definite one. This sentence could be an answer to "Were your grandparents seriously living in the creepy palace?" "Nah, my mother said my grandparents were living in a village."
