Hello!

Could you please explain to me, why don't we use any articles before Ben's diary and next week in the following sentence?

This is Ben's diary for next week.

Thanks a lot!

You could use "the" before "next week", but it's not necessary. An article before "Ben's" would be wrong. It's something that belongs to Ben, not "the Ben".
