Hello,

1.Sometimes I go to market with my father.

I want to know that it is "go to market" or "go to the market".

What shole we use?

In using the term 'set task', Hanuman, I meant that the phrase 'go to market' is among the phrases used for tasks we frequently perform-- so much so that they have become idiomatic in structure: go to school, go to church, go to market, go home.
