• The way we say 'the' changes depending on the sound at the start of the next word.
Before a consonant sound (the media, the USA, the programme), we pronounce it /ðə/.
Before a vowel sound (the announcer, the actor, the editor), we pronounce it /ðɪ/.
• We often use 'the' when we are talking about something there is only one of.
✓ the sky, the sun, the moon, the Prince of Wales, the North Pole, the World Cup
