Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

THE

Today we had an English class. We discussed about preposition. My students understood the preposition we were talking about. Yet, as I frequently do, I talked about something else. Huahahaha...I didn't focus on the main topic....
We had these sentences, "He's at school." and "He's at the school." 
"She's at hospital." and "She's at the hospital."
"He's in jail." and 'He's in the jail."

The word 'the' hasn't got a significant meaning when it stands alone. But, we know, if the word is inserted into a phrase, the word can change the meaning of the phrase, and the meaning becomes absolutely different. I found that it is amazing!

The word is like us. We've got no meaning when we stand alone without anyone else. But when we play our own role in our community, we've got the meaning! We are there for others. So, be useful for others! Shine on the world around you! You're the meaningful 'THE'!
