Default Usage of article

Dear sirs,

I would like to know the proper usage of article.
Please correct each of these sentenses if they are wrong:
1. I like evenging.
2. I like the evening.
3. I like the time in the evening.
4. I like the quiet time in the evening.
5. I like it in the evening.

to express that a person enjoys doing many things
in the evening - like listenning to CDs and reading books.

Thank you.

Default Re: Usage of article

1. I like evening. :( I like evenings. I like the evenings. I like evening.
2. I like the evening. :D
3. I like the time in the evening. :D
4. I like the quiet time in the evening. :D
5. I like it in the evening. :D

evenings, without "the", means, all evenings in general)
the evening(s), with "the", means, a specific time of a day)
