    Dear Teacher,

    I easily confuse with using of "The". I do not when I should use for example the "the effect of the music perception" and the effect of music perception especially about the second the in of- clauses. If you introduce me a site or grammar book covering this specific problem I would appreciate you.

    Best regards,
