Use a/an when you mention somebody / something for the first time or say who / what somebody / something is. Use the when it's clear who / what somebody / something is (e.g it has been mentioned before or it's unique).
Don't use an article to speak in general with plural and uncountable nouns, or in phrases like at home / work, go home /to bed, next / last (week), etc.
Institutions (church, hospital, school, etc.)
E.g. My father's in hospital. They are building a new hospital in my town.
-> With prison, church, school, hospital, and university, etc. don't use an article when you are thinking about the institution and the normal purpose it is used it for. If you are just thinking about the building, use a or the.
Geographical names
E.g. Tunisia is in North Africa
The National Gallery and the British Museum are London tourist attractions.
We don`t normally use the with:
1-> most countries, continents, regions ending with the name of a country/continent,
E.g. North America, South East, Asia, islands, states, provinces, towns, and cities (exceptions: the USA, the UK/United Kingdom, The Netherlands, The Czech Republic).
2-> roads, streets, parks, shops, and restaurants (exceptions: motorways and numbered roads, the M6, the A25).
3-> individual mountains an lakes: E.g. We normally use the with.
4-> mountains ranges, rivers, seas, canals, deserts, and island groups.
5-> the names of theatres, cinemas, hotels, galleries, and museums.
Right or Wrong. Now or Never. More or Less. Sooner or Later. All or Nothing. Once or Twice.
