Learn English – Should we put the definite article before ‘morning’

definite-article

My father and I go for a walk in morning in a park close to our home.

Should there be a 'the' before 'morning' here?

Best Answer

Yes, you should say "in the morning." This is mostly a matter of referring to time of day in an idiomatic way; we say "We walk in the morning" but "we walk at night" (no article). It's hard to explain exactly why this is the case, but it's the idiomatic way of saying it. Here's the Google Ngrams search showing how much more common it is to say "in the morning/at night" vs. "in morning/at the night".
