Thanks for sharing this video. "Article" topics are difficult for me. I'm grateful for the Oxford Online English teachers.

[@yooos3]

I am so thankful for this video! I was having a hard time learning when and how to use 'the'. Although there are multiple resources available online, none of them was useful for me.
They either had too many rules, or they were too simple to learn anything new. But this is such a secure method to remember and use. I can see a noticeable difference in my mistakes, and they have reduced manifolds! Thanks a lot!
I am writing this comment only after evaluating myself.

[@leonardo5695627]

Hi! Tks for the lesson!
And about "in Section 2 we present..."? In this case, the right choice is without the article, right?
In the same way, it seems "in Phase 2..." is also without "the".
But they (section and phase) are singular and countable... would they act as a "proper noum" (since in these cases we use capital letters)?
Which would be the rule tying "section" and "phase" together?
Tks!

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Yes, Leonardo! When we are using words like 'section, chapter, article, week, etc.' plus a number, there is not an article before. Some other examples: 'In week 5 of the semester, we will have an exam', 'Chapter seven of the book was my favorite'. If it's written differently, there is an article: 'In the fifth week of the semester...' and 'The seventh chapter of the book...'.
These types of phrases don't normally act as proper nouns unless something like 'Phase 2' is the title of a specific, proper name. If it's describing the general phase, it would not be capitalized. Hope this helps you!

Don't use 'THE

2.With names
🗾Japan is a country with high levels of education.
3. With determinants
👵One place I like to go to is my grandmother's house.

[@sunitatomar6993]

Please tell the acceptions of using the with names

[@Pidalin]

In my native language I would say "Show me that book" or something like that when we speak about specific book so I am using it even in English (not on purpose ofcourse) and I don't know if this makes sense for native English speakers. So it's not true slavic languages don't know something like articles but we using words like that, some etc...for recognize if I mean something random or something specific. But many things in English have THE even when we didn't talk about that specific thing and it's black magic for me sometimes. :-) With that bathroom etc...I don't understant why using THE when it's obvious which bathroom I mean. I know it's part of English, but it looks really illogical especially for slavic speakers.

[@snehalquest]

Hi, I would like to answer this question. THEIR is a possessive form. THERE is opposite to HERE.
Most of the people live there.
That is their luggage.
Sometimes, for framing sentences, we use THERE.
There are so many things to learn on youtube, especially about English.

[@itisenglish9149]

@@snehalquest Their answers the question WHOSE?
(WHO?) They took (WHOSE HATS?) their hats.
It is a possessive pronoun.
'There' answers the question WHERE?
Where did you find it? - I found it THERE.
