Best Answer

The answer depends on the context. If you are talking about a specific problem, you would say "the problem". For example, "My car was making an odd noise, but the mechanic found the problem and fixed it." If you are talking about a general problem or any problem, you would say "a problem". For example, "Let me know if you have a problem with this plan."

This a/the distinction applies to any noun, not just "problem". For example, "I like to take a book with me when I go to the beach," and "The movie was good, but the book was better."
