So instead of writing, "Mr O'Meara woke up this morning," [note the capitals for the part which is a proper name], I write "I woke up this morning." [Note the capital for the pronoun, which stands in for a proper name. However "a" is an article, not anyone's name so it doesn't attract a capital unless it gets one for being at the start of a sentence. The purpose of an article is to tell us if we are talking about just one thing or a specific thing. For example A cat The cat The first is the indefinite article. It is just one of many possible cats. The second is the definite article. It is talking about a specific cat. Does this help?

However “a” is an article, not anyone’s name so it doesn’t attract a capital unless it gets one for being at the start of a sentence. The purpose of an article is to tell us if we are talking about just one thing or a specific thing.

For example

A cat
The cat

The first is the indefinite article. It is just one of many possible cats.
The second is the definite article. It is talking about a specific cat.

Does this help?

If you want the detail and evidence that you would find in a serious history resource, you should certainly get out a book on the topic from your local library. The war is well covered and you should have plenty of excellent books to choose from. Yes, this is a very simple explanation intended only to support our classroom discussion of the topic.
