The definite article - the

The definite article the is the same for all genders in singular and in plural.

If the following word begins with a consonant, we speak [ðə], if the following word begins with a vowel, we speak [ði:].

We have listed some examples in the following table. There you can see when we use the definite article and when we don't.

We use the seasons of the year (spring, summer, autumn, winter) with or without the definite article.

The American English word fall is always used with the definite article the.

Sometimes we use the article and sometimes we do not. It often depends on the context. Watch the following example:

In the first sentence we do not use the definite article, in the second we do. The student goes to school for its primary purpose, so we do not use the article.

The mother might talk to a teacher, for example. She visits the school for a different reason. That's why we use the definite article the in the second sentence.

Use a comma before "but" when it connects two independent clauses (complete sentences that could stand alone).

(= Two independent clauses: "I wanted to go for a walk" and "it started raining.")

No comma is needed if "but" is joining two elements within a sentence, such as two verbs or two adjectives.
