Could you please explain or give a link to a general rule of article usage with members of the family . Here are 2 examples :
At 8 o'clock father puts on his coat and goes to work .
The mother asks the boy to help her .
Whats the difference ? Why do we use article in the second sentence and dont use in the first ?
Thank you
