The article “the” is used to refer to specific people, things or situations, such as the Pope, the Eiffel Tower or the bathroom. It is also used to refer to ordinal numbers, decades, geographic areas and certain cities and countries. However, it should not be used with names of cities and countries, years, professions, titles combined with names, foods or languages, unless you are talking about something specific.

The definite article is used when we speak about something specific or something that has already been mentioned in the conversation

Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective. The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader. The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known.
