School plays important role in our lives. Education which we receive from
This is a good example of the reason why it is difficult for English language learners to know when to use "the".
In the first sentence there is no need to add the word "the", but in the second sentence we need the word "the":
The education which we receive..
Yet, there are many sentences in which the word "education" is preceded by the word "the". For example:
Education should be the most important concern for people holding leadership positions in any society.--- In this sentence, we refer to education in general. We refer to ALL education in the society.
The education which we receive... -- In this sentence, we refer to one education of one person. So, we need the word 'the'..
Another examples is here:
The second reason is that children will feel bored when they get long break.
You need 'a' before the word 'long'. ... when they get a long break.
You can also do it this way:
The second reason is that children will feel bored when they get long breaks. ----- This way is even better. There is no need to use the word 'a' if you pluralize the noun 'breaks'.
The part of speech called 'articles (the, a, an) is strange. It is hard to explain! But you get a sense of it if you read a lot. When you are reading, read aloud sometimes to learn the good habits for verb conjugation, the use of 'the', and other stuff.
