I'm writing a short story. Please let me know if I used articles correctly.

Thank you,

"I went inside the bedroom; a green carpet covered the floor, no bed, just the mattress
on the floor. I didn’t mind. The carpet looked cozy. I just questioned why Father
wouldn’t buy a bed for us after being in United States for four years. Then I
checked my father’s bedroom, similar in style. This one had a bed inside and an
alarm clock on the side table. "

As you can see above in red, you only missed one. It's the USA or The ​United States of America.

Why did you place "the" in front of the word articles?

Because you are referring to specific articles, the articles in the text.

So every time a noun/s are specific you use "the"?
