A or the before ordinals
My teacher always taught us to use "the" before ordinals. However, I tend to see more and more that people use "a" before the ordinals. Why is it so?

You can use 'a' before an ordinal number if it means another time.
For example, "I tried calling her for a second time, but she didn't answer."
