Students should keep in mind the below mentioned rules, while using the definite article in English sentences:
When the noun is previously mentioned
When a noun has already been introduced in the conversation or text, use 'the' for subsequent references to that noun. For example: I saw a car. The car was red.
When the noun is unique or known
When there is only one of something in a particular context, or when the listener knows what is being referred to, "the" is used. For example: The sun is shining.

"The" can be used to point out a specific instance of a noun. For example: The book on the table is mine.
