I didn't know where to post this, so I apologize if it's in the wrong place. I know how to make a numbered list using \begin{enumerate}\end{enumerate}, etc., etc., but I would like to know how to add letters to each number. For example:

1 (a)
(b)
.
.
.

Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Yes, thank you very much.
