Use the when you are talking about a specific thing. Use it in the shower, on the phone, or in the house.

We use it for something that is unique- the sun, the moon.

I got caught in the rain. I fell in the water. I got punched in the nose. I was walking across the street and I got hit by the car that I didn't see until it was too late.

The sun was in my eyes.
I watched as the tears rolled down her face.

If you can't identify the thing you're talking about, it probably doesn't take 'the'.

Using "the" to represent "a" and "an" mentioned before,like :

I have a computer at home. But the computer used at the office can't get through the internet.

Hope my sentence is helpful! :)

What about: "I don't know what the thing was?"

:wink:

It's identifiable- it's the thing you don't know.
