There are many situations in where we can use the article "the" and for that, I'm going to focus on the situations in where we can't use it.
So let's start!!! 🤓🤓🤓🤓😇😇😜😎😎
1- Person titles:
I can't say:
The Mr. turner is here == Tha's wrong ❌
I can say:
Mr. Turner is here == Tha's correct 👍
2- Generall things:
I can't say:
The apples are delicius == That's wrong ❌
I can say:
Apples are delicius == Tha's correct 👍
3- The week days:
I can't say:
I went to the park the sunday == That's wrong ❌
I can say:
I went to the park on sunday == That's correct 👍
4- Languages:
I can't say:
I like the english == That's wrong ❌
I can say:
I like english == That's correct 👍
5- Apostrophe 's:
I can't say:
The Alejandro's toys == That's wrong ❌
I can say:
Alejandro's toys == That's correct 👍
6- Year moments:
I can't say:
The exam is the next week == That's wrong ❌
I can say:
The exam is next week == That's correct 👍
So yeah, Like that we have to use the article "The"

¿Por qué algunos países usan "the"?
Usamos the solo cuando el nombre del país transmite la idea de un grupo o una organización política. Por eso decimos the United States o the Dominican Republic, ya que contienen palabras como "estados" o "república", pero nunca diríamos "the Mexico" o "the Spain" porque son nombres singulares y propios. Piensa en ello como si estuvieras agrupando varias partes para formar una sola nación.
