Hello,
I have a lot of problems with articles...I am writing a description of my school for somebody who has never seen my school. Could you check my sentences, please:
7.In my shool you have a lot of activities: you can play basketball in the/a gym, play in a playground and read books in a library.
If I said these sentences after sentences no. 1,2,3, and so on, so after mentioning that there is a gym, a library, etc. should I use the in all the sentences in point 7, just because I have already spoken about these placed in my essay?
I hope somebody will help me.
Thank you for your help!
Annie

1. In my school there are nine classrooms and a gym.-- This is the first mention and in the pointed position of 'gym''
2. There's a playground and a car park outside.-- As with #1
Compare:
In the common room there are many table -- Here, 'common room' is a given, and the point is 'many tables'.
.
So on 2nd reading and after thin

Hello,
Thank you very much for your help.
I am not sure yet what 'a pointed position' or 'a point' is...
If I understand well, that's the central idea of our sentence, or simply the end of a sentence?
(in the above sentences that's the same I guess)
Thank you again!

I mean the main point of the utterance, Annie, which in English usually comes at the end of the sentence.
