1. She dicided to write a third book.

Question

2. She decided to write the third book.
(Which one is right? Are both grammatical? What is the difference between them?)

Answer 1

I am an English teacher so don't doubt my word,
BOTH of them are grammatically correct. There is a mishap in the 1. sentence because "decided" is spelled wrong.
There really is a difference but the only difference i see is that the second sentence is referring to "a" book other than "the" book.

Answer 2
