3. we use the before same

4. we don't use the before noun + number

   • ex: Our trais leaves from platforms

5. compare school and the school

6. we say a child goes to school or is at school

   • we are thinking of school as a general but  The school (= a specific building) we use prison, hospital, university, college and church in a similar way with other places, you need 'the', the cinema, the bank...
