Title: Get a chance vs get the chance
Post by: English Maiden on July 18, 2011, 10:17:07 AM

Hi, Joe!

I always see and hear the phrases "get a chance" and "get the chance" interchangeably used in TV, print, and radio ads, for example:

A. Get a chance to win an iPod 4 for a minimum purchase of P5,000 at SM Appliance Center.
B. Get the chance to win an iPod 4 for a minimum purchase of P5,000 at SM Appliance Center.

Are both sentences correct?
