Ahmed Imam AttiaMember

Hello. Which one is correct? Why?

- She has to wear (a - the) uniform when she’s at work.

Thank you.

Both are correct, Ahmed. We'd use "a" in a case where the specific uniform that she has to were is not being discussed, only the fact that she has to wear a uniform. We'd use "the" in a case where we are talking about a specific uniform.
