''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. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words.

When the United Trades and Labour Council of South Australia needed money to start a workers' new ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
