When to place "a" before a noun in espańol.
Today I saw this sentence: "Oigo a un gato y a un caballo."
Do you always need the "a"?
How do you know when you need to put "a" before the word. For example, the phrase "Como pan y pollo" would not need "a", correct? But why?

la "a" se pone cuando me refiero a una persona ejemplo:
the "a" only is used when i refer a person. For example,
necesito a un doctor.- I need a doctor.

Podrías decir: Oigo un gato y un caballo.
De esa forma omites el "a"
Aunque cuando escribes: Oigo a un gato y a un caballo, enfatizas que solo es UN gato y UN caballo, no hay lugar a dudas de que haya más animales (dos gatos, tres caballos).

"A" is used when persons (human being) are direct objects
