#1 indicates one letter on the table. #2 indicates one of more than one letter is on the table, but only one of them is yours.
#3. "kept" is a transitive verb. Something must be maintained, singing (crying, shouting, whatever he's doing) or an object, whatever, so it takes a direct object. In this case, singing is being maintained or kept. To keep doing something or to keep an object is an action.
1. The letter on the table is yours.
2. A letter on the table is yours.
[#1 is correct? What about #2?]
3. He kept singing the song.
[In this sentence, what is the part of speech of 'kept'? Is 'kept' a transitive verb? And is 'singing' the object of the verb? Or is 'kept' an intransitive verb? And is 'singing' the subject complement of the verb?]
