Hi, I need some help regarding a noun (s) that must be preceded with 'the'.

Examples,

1) the teaching practice

2) the teaching and learning process

How to determine which nouns or phrases must take 'the' before them?

Thanks

Do you want a green car or the green car that is parked near your house?

A green car is any car that is green.

The green car that is parked near your house is a specific car.

As a rule, if you write about a specific thing - use "the".

The black cloud over the city - this is a specific black cloud.
