Question Is "the" required?
Hi teachers!
Is "the" required in the following sentences?
All the living things breathe, move grow, eat and drink.
All the non-living things do not breathe, move, grow, eat and drink.
Regards!
Dawood

Living things breathe, move, grow, eat, and drink.

Non-living things do not breathe, move, grow, eat, or drink.
