autocorrect inserts letter a before nouns

This has been happening way too long and hoped each update was going to fix it. When I type Messages, Emails, etc., my iPad always inserts the letter “a” before nouns, including proper nouns. I reset my dictionary but it didn’t resolve this issue. Please help!

iPad, iPadOS 13
