Definitive, indefinite or no article

You use the indefinitive articles "a" or "an" to refer to a thing that is unknown and mentioned for the first time.

Example:

I eat an apple.

You use the definitive article "the" to refer to a thing already mentioned before and thus known.

Example:

The apple that I ate had a worm in it.

You also use the definitive article to refer to unique things that everyone knows.

Examples:

The sun shines brightly.

The President of the United States needs bodyguards.

The future can't be predicted.

You use no article at all to refer to a group of things in général.

Examples:

I don't like horror movies.

Poverty is the opposite of welfare.

Now it's up to you to choose between the definite, the indefinite or no article! Good luck!
