Confusion in use of article a/an/the
It is vert difficult to point out the number of the creatures living on earth.
My teacher says this sentence is grammatically correct. I have a doubt. Is using "the creatures" because we are not talking about certain(definite) creature. We are talking in general.
Thanks.
