    This document discusses the use of the definite article "the" with certain words in English. It notes that "the" is often used with words like the sun, moon, planets, and climate. However, it explains that with words representing broader concepts like nature, society, science, and technology, we do not use "the".

    'The' – words that DON'T use it

    In the past lessons, we saw that we often use 'the' with words like the sun, the moon, the stars, the sky,
    the universe, the planets, the world, the solar system, the air, the past, the future, the present, the
    internet, the web, the environment, the climate, the press, the public, the police, the fire brigade.

    Today, let's look at some words that feel like these words above, but that we DON'T use 'the' with.

    With these words, we use 'no article': nature, society, space, pollution, life, technology, history,

    philosophy, science, literature, art, music, poverty, crime, unemployment, global warming, luck,
    climate change.

    Let's review!

    1. With some words, we use 'the' almost all the time and with some words we use '__________'
    almost all the time.
    2. With words like 'sun / moon / climate / public / internet, we use '____________'.
    3. With words like 'nature / life / technology / luck / climate change', we use
    '_______________'.
