ある + Noun

ある + noun can be used to refer to a specific instance of something, without actually naming that instance. For example, if I'm complaining about "some celebrity that's on TV", I could use ある有名人 in my sentence.

ある日、突然、日本人が話す普通の日本語が分かるようになった。
One day, I suddenly got to where I could understand normal Japanese that Japanese people speak.

今ある子が外に庭で立ってるんだよ。
Some kid is standing outside in the garden right now.

昔、昔、ある所に、おじいさんとおばあさんが住んでいました。
Once upon a time in a faraway land, there lived an old man and old woman.

クリスマスに友達がある有名人の抱き枕をくれた。
For Christmas, my friend gave me some celebrity body pillow.
