Replace 'certain' with 'a certain'.

The correct way to write this is 'a certain + singular countable noun'. e.g. a certain boy, a certain book.

The correct sentence should be: She ordered a certain girl to make entry into the Manager's office.

All the following words should be followed by a singular countable noun.

A / An / A Certain / Another / This / That / Each / Every/ Either/ Neither

For e.g.

Don't say:	a certain girls
Say:	a certain girl
Don't say:	Each boys are interested in the debate.
Say:	Each boy is interested in the debate.

These / Those / Certain / Other

For e.g. certain radios

Observe the following sentences carefully to see the difference:

e.g. Only certain courses in Biology are prescribed.

Only a certain course in Biology is prescribed.
