I have asked simular questions quite a lot, but no one could give a clear answer, so I am desperate. I can not figure out when I need to omit or use "the." Here are a few examples.
- I slipped over last month and I led to (the) disruption of my knee tendon.
- They are thinking about (the) closure of the bank.
- (The) distribution of wealth in the world in unequal.
- We must reach (the) consistency of our learning.
- We must promote(the) teaching of English.
Is the use of "the" is optional or necessary if it is necessary explain it for me why, please!!!
