00 (1) Omitting "the" from "the Abstract Noun" can be seen especially in phrases that have inside them the Verb-Object structure, as in "protection of nature", "lack of food" and "construction of a building". Can we always omit "the" from phrases that have inside them the Verb-Object structure? 02 br

00 (2) Omitting "the" from "the Abstract Noun" can hardly be seen in phrases that have inside them the Verb-Subject structure, as in "the arrival of a train", and "the coming of a new age". 02 br
02 br
00 And It can hardly be seen in phrases that have inside them the Complement (Adjective)-Subject structure, as in "the importance of training", and "the value of gold". 02 br

00 Why can't we omit "the" from phrases that have inside them the Verb-Subject structure, or the Complement(Adjective)-Subject structure? 0-
