I left some question unanswered, not because I think it doesn't need proposition but rather, I have no idea what the answer is. Trust be told, I've never liked proposition because it make sense and convenience if someone else is using it, but it's really how to figuring out what/when to use them. I know basic knowledge of proposition-if you know something use THE, if you don't know something use A(with few exception for sure)-but it's really hard to use them properly.

Hi [이름]! What do you mean by \"proposition\"?

I think proposition is a statement that expresses judgments or opinions.

A, AN, THE are called \"articles\".

Read this:

A and AN before a noun shows that what is referred to is not already known to the speaker, listener, writer, or reader.

Use A before a noun when the noun starts with a consonant letter.

Example: I have A HOUSE.

Use AN before a noun when the noun starts with a vowel.

Example: I have AN APARTMENT.

THE before a noun shows that what is referred to is already known to the speaker, listener, writer, or reader. It makes a noun specific.

Example: We parked THE car. / We had to paint THE apartment.

I might have too long explanation so better read this for you to understand. This is the link: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/determiners/a-an-and-the
