THE VS. NO ARTICLE

=The=

• Before nouns of which there is only one.
• Before a noun which has become definite as a result of being mentioned a second time.
• Before names of seas, rivers, chains of mountains, groups of islands and plural names of countries.
• Before musical instruments.

=No Article=

We do not use an article when we talk about plural nouns when we are talking generally.

INDIRECT QUESTIONS 

We used them when we want to make more polite questions. They have an opening phrase before the main question. Indirect questions DO NOT follow the question word order.

*For YES/NO questions, include IF/WHETHER after the opening phrase.
