Article for burning off
Hi,
Could you please check if my usage of articles is correct in the following sentences, especially before the underlined nouns?
1. The year over year growth is mainly due to burning off rental concessions and higher rental rates as compared to the last year.
2. The year over year growth is mainly due to the expiration of rental concessions and higher rental rates as compared to the last year.
Thanks,
MG.

It is not clear to me why 'the' is necessary before 'burning off' as I am trying to say it generally.
Is an article required in the following sentence?
2. Burning off of rental rat

This is interesting. I think I am learning something here. It might help me to pin down this article confusion once and for all (which seems very unlikely)

Clive It didn't seem like a general statement to me. If it is general, why have you said 'the year over year growth'?Is #2 also general? Then why did you say 'the expiration'?

Hi,
I'm reluctant to agree with that generalization. I'd prefer to say that much depends on the particular sentence and the particular meaning.
The proper use of articles is not an easy topic, either to learn or indeed to teach.
