English Grammar: When NOT to use an article - 9 rules

[@MrSorrow]

Finally I have found a good teacher who can finally help me to understand how I can talk and write in English without or with the minimum of mistakes. Ohhh my goodness.... finally. Before this I started to think that I can't find my first IT job not because of not having the needed hard skills but because of my awful English. Thanks, you gave me a hope. Thanks again!

Important note: languages DO get "the" if they have the word "language" after it. For example "Russian" vs "the russian language" or "English" vs "the english language"

Hello, TeacherI read the following text in a school English book but I think the definite article must not be used with the uncountable noun 'creativity': (last sentence) "Failure is not the end. Rather, it may be the first step to tge world of success. This is proven by the experiences of many geniuses abd inventors. Although failure interefered with their way in the early days of their lives, it didn't discourage them from reaching the top. Effort and creativity make their success stories a mark in the human creativity." Thanks for your guidance. Best regards Antoine Ghannoum

I found the difference between lake/bay and sea/river. Lakes and bays are fully visible and we can recognize them. However, we can see only the part of seas and rivers so I guess we need to use "the" to tell the whole image of them to the listener.
