The Vicar Of Wakefield (1917 Film)
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers.

This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.
