=> I have more question.For now I can mention some problems with application
=> of enlish prepositions and sometimes def. and undef. articles.Recently I
=> found the sentence "He shot a final arrow from his bow". My book of english
=>                             ^
=> grammar couldn't explain something like this.
 
This seems pretty straight-forward, unless there's something
about this question that I'm missing.
 
"a final" means the same thing as "one final"; it is a slightly
emphatic expression and means the same thing as "a last" or "one
last."  So your sentence implies something like this:  He shot a
bunch of arrows.  And then he shot one more, the last one.
